FOREWORD 

This  book  contains  schedules  and  wage  scales  in  effect  December  31,  1917. 
It  has  been  a  difficult  task  to  get  copies  of  all  the  schedules  and  wage  scales 
in  existence,  and  there  are  twelve  missing  from  this  compilation  because  no 
copies  were  available. 

In  some  few  instances  the  rate  of  wages  has  been  raised  above  what  is 
herein  shown,  but  in  no  case  are  there  any  reductions  in  the  rates. 

In  the  back  part  of  the  book  some  agreements  with  the  various  Express 
Companies  are  shown,  where  station  agents  act  in  a  joint  capacity  as  agents 
for  the  Express  Companies. 

On  December  28,  1917,  the  United  States  took  possession  and  assumed 
control  of  the  railroads.  A  Director  General  of  Railroads  was  appointed  and 
a  Railroad  Wage  Commission.  This  constitutes  an  epoch  in  the  work  of 
the  Order  of  Railroad  Telegraphers,  and  it  is  meet  and  fitting  that  its  work 
and  achievements  up  to  this  time  should  be  made  a  matter  of  record,  hence 
the  compilation  of  existing  schedules  and  wage  scales. 

It  is  confidently  expected  that  it  will  be  necessary  to  print  and  publish 
revised  editions  of  this  work  from  time  to  time  as  there  is  much  remedial 
work  yet  to  be  done.     \ 

Yours  fraternally, 

H.  B.  PERHAM, 

President

the  exception  that  where  they  are  working 
more  than  ten  hours,  the  hours  will  be  re- 
duced to  ten,   exclusive  of  meal  hour. 

(The  word  trick  is  understood  to  mean  a 
period  of  time  constituting  a  day's  work. 
Tricks  are  created  by  any  changes  in  the 
hours  between  which  employes  work  during 
the  twenty-four  hour  period.  For  example, 
at  one  office  two  operators  go  on  duty  at 
8:00  a.  m.,  another  at  10:00  a.  m.,  and  another 
at  11:00  a.  m.,  and  night  shifts  begin  work 
at  8:00  p.  m.  and  10:00  p.  m.  This  would 
be  a  five  trick  office.) 

ARTICLE  XVII. 

When  the  hours  of  an  office  are  changed 
from  a  two  or  three  to  a  one-trick  basis  the 
employes  thereby  affected  may  claim  the 
remaining  trick  according  to  their  seniority. 
U  remaining  trick  is  not  claimed  by  them 
it  will  be  advertised,  and  the  emploj^es  af- 
fected may  assert  their  seniority  according 
to   Article   VI,    paragraph    "b". 

Wlien  the  hours  are  changed  from  a  one 
to  a  two  or  three-trick  basis,  all  tricks 
will  be  advertised,  unless  the  employe  fill- 
ing the  one  trick  has  held  it  for  at  least 
one  year,  and  desires  to  retain  either  of  the 
three  tricks. 

ARTICLE  XVIII. 

Employes  in  the  general  relay  offices  at 
Baltimore,  Grafton,  Pittsburgh,  Newark  and 
Cincinnati  shall  be  governed  by  the  follow- 
ing  conditions: 

(a)  Eight  hours,  €xclusive  of  thirty  min- 
utes for  lunch,  shall  constitute  a  day's 
work. 

(b)  They  will  be  allowed  ten  days'  vaca- 
tion annually  with  pay. 

(e)  On  week  days  no  split  will  be  made 
in  any  trick,  except  in  case  of  emergency, 
not  exceeding  three  days  in  any  month  for 
any  one  man,  and  when  done,  a  reduction 
of  one  hour  will  be  made  for  the  day's 
work. 

(d)  Overtime  will  be  paid  for  at  the  rate 
of  50  cents  per  hour. 

(e)  When  employes  are  relieved  for  seven 
days  or  more,  the  other  ranking  employes 
will  be  entitled  to  fill  the  positions  during 
such  absence  if  they  so  desire,  but  will  not 
be  permitted  to  work  more  than  one  trick 
per  day,  except  the  day  the  change  is 
made,  nor  will  overtime  be  allowed  for  the 
double. 

(f)  In  the  general  relay  offices  vacancies 
will  be  filled  by  advancing  the  regular  and 
extra  men  according  to  their  office  senior- 
ity (incidental  extra  work  will  not  establish 
official  seniority)  and  the  last  trick  or  any 
extra  forces  required  will  be  advertised  for 
as  follows: 

Baltimore — On  the  Philadelphia,  Baltimore 
and   Cumberland   Divisions. 

Grafton — On  the  Monongah,  Wheeling  and 
Ohio    River   Divisions. 

Pittsburgh — On  the  Connellsville,  Pitts- 
burgh, New  Castle  and  Cleveland  Divisions. 


Newark — On  the  Newark  and  \  Chicago 
Divisions.

and   Toledo   Divisions. 

(g)  When  the  force  at  any  of  these  of- 
fices is  reduced,  the  telegraphers  therein 
will  be  set  back  in  accordance  with  their 
office  seniority  in  the  reverse  of  the  order 
promoted.  Telegraphers  who  have  obtained 
extra  positions  in  relay  offices  during  the 
regular  vacation  period,  upon  termination 
of  the  vacation  period  will  return  to  their 
immediately   preceding   positions. 

(h)  All  telegraphers  or  telephoners  in  relay 
offices  shall  receive  the  same  rate  of  pay 
for  that  office. 

(i)  Division     employes     securing    positions 
in    relay   offices    shall    retain    their    seniority 
on  their  respective  divisions. 
ARTICLE  XIX. 

At  stations  or  offices  where  more  than  ten 
cells  of  local  or  main  line  batteries  are  in 
use,  employes  will  not  be  required  to  clean 
any  of  them. 

ARTICLE  XX. 

Telegraphers  and  telephorers  at  temporary 
ends  of  single  track  during  periods  of  con- 
struction, at  wrecks,  washouts  and  similar 
places,  will  receive  $3.00  per  day;  eight  hours 
or  less  to  constitute  a  day.  When  called 
from  regular  duties  to  perform  such  service, 
they  will  be  allowed  for  it  only. 

ARTICLE    XXI.        .      . 

At  places  where  there  are  two  or  more 
offices  located  in  the  same  town,  and  em- 
ployes are  compelled  to  work  a  partial  time 
in  more  than  one  of  those  offices,  they  shall 
receive  salary  at  rate  of  the  highest  office. 
ARTICLE  XXII. 

It  is  not  the  disposition  of  the  railroad 
company  to  displace  operators  by  having 
trainmen  or  other  employes  operate  the  tele- 
phone for  the  purpose  of  blocking  trains, 
handling  train  orders  or  messages,  except  in 
bona  fide  cases  of  emergency.  This  does 
not  apply  to  train  crews  using  the  telephone 
at  the  ends  of  passing  sidings  or  spur 
tracks  in  communicating  with  the  operator. 
ARTICLE  XXIII. 

Employes   shall   be   furnished  by  the   com- 
pa.ny    with    copies    of    this    schedule    and    all 
amendments  or  supplements  thereto. 
ARTICLE  XXIV.

ARTICLE  I. 

The  following  rules  and  rates  of  pay  will 
hereafter  be  observed  in  the  employment  of 
telegraphers. 

ARTICLE    II. 

Employes  required  to  perform  telegraph 
service,  of  any  character  or  duration,  and 
other  employes  included  in  this  schedule  of 
wages,  will  be  considered  telegraphers, 
within  the,  meaning  of  this  agreement,  ir- 
respective of  title  by  which  designated,  or 
character  of  service  performed.  It  is  un- 
derstood that  where  there  is  a  station  agent 
and  one  or  more  telegraphers,  the  telegra- 
phers report  to,  and  are  under  the  full 
authority  of  the  station  agent. 

ARTICLE  III. 
Telegraphers  as  per  Article  II  are  in  line 
of  promotion  over  the  entire  system,  except 
that  men  hired  after  January  1st,  1910,  will 
have  rights  only  on  the  division  on  which 
they  were  hired,  advancement  depending 
upon  the  faithful  discharge  of  duty  and 
capacity  for  increasing  responsibility.  Where 
merit,  fitness  and  ability  permit,  seniority 
will  have  preference.  The  proper  officials 
of  the  company  will  determine  the  fitness, 
of  telegraphers  to  fill  position  bid  for,  pro- 
vided the  senior  applicant  shall,  if  any  doubt 
exists  as  to  his  ability,  be  granted  a  fair 
and  impartial  examination  for  the  position 
applied  for.  Any  telegrapher  will  have  the 
•right  to  appeal  from  the  decision,  personally, 
or  thTough  the  station  agents'  committee,  to 
the    general    manager. 

ARTICLE   IV. 

A  roster  of  telegraphers  will  be  prepared 
and  a  copy  of  the  same  furnished  to  each 
telegraph  oflflce  and  will  be  revised  semi- 
anmially. 

ARTICLE    V. 

Telegraphers  will  be  advised  of  all  per- 
manent vacancies  or  new  positions  as  soon 
as  they  exist,  by  a  notice  sent  to  each  tele- 
graph oflice  announcing  location  and  wages, 
where  wage  scale  has  been  changed,  and 
they  shall  file  claim  to  the  positions  within 
ten  (10)  days  after  date  of  notice.  Such 
positions  shall  be  permanently  filled  at  the 
expiration  of  twenty  (20)  days  when  pos- 
sible. The  trading  of  positions  will  not  be 
permitted.  When  a  telegrapher  bids  in  and 
is  notified  of  his  assignment  to  a  position 
he  win  not  be  allowed  to  bid  for  his  former 
position  until  it  has  been  once  filled  and 
again  becomes  vacant.     When  a  telegrapher 


becomes  incapacitated  or  unable  to  fill  his 
position,  or  his  regular  position  is  abolished, 
he  will  be  assigned  to  extra  work,  if  there 
is  any  and  will  retain  his  seniority. 

ARTICLE  VI, 
Telegraphers  declining  to  accept  promo- 
tion will  not  forfeit  their  rights  to  the  same 
or  any  other  position  they  may  be  entitled 
to,  when  a  vacancy  occurs  or  a  new  posi- 
tion   is    created. 

ARTICLE  VII. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  dismissed  or 
suspended  without  just  cause.  In  the  event 
of  suspension  or  dismissal  they  will  have 
the  right  within  ten  (10)  days  to  refer  their 
cases  by  written  statement  to  the  proper 
official,  who  shall,  within  seven  (7)  days  of 
the  receipt  ot  such  statement,  give  their 
case  a  thorough  investigation,  at  which  they 
will  have  the  right  to  be  present,  if  they 
desire,  and  to  be  accompanied  by  fellow  em- 
ployes of  their  choice  and  class.  In  case 
they  are  not  satisfied  with  the  result  of  such 
investigation,  they  will  have  the  right  to 
appeal  their  case  to  higher  officials  in  their 
regular  order  up  to  the  president.  In  case 
the  suspension  or  dismissal  is  found  to  be 
unjust,  they  will  be  reinstated  and  paid  for 
time    lost. 

In  the  matter  of  errors  made  by  station 
agents  or  their  assistants  in  billing,  deliv- 
ering cr  handling  freight  in  any  manner, 
it  was  mutually  agreed  that  some  system 
must  be  established  by  which  station  agents 
will  share  in  the  losses  resulting  therefrom, 
and  it  was  agreed  that  in  such  cases  as 
the  mana,§ement  might  decide  a  portion  of 
such  losses  ought  to  be  charged  against  the 
station  agent,  that  proportion  would  be  fif- 
teen per  cent  of  the  amount  in  each  instance 
that  the  Bangor  &  Aroostook  Railroad  Com- 
pany was  obliged  to  pay,  with  a  maximum 
charge  against  any  station  agent  in  any 
one  case  of  ten  (10)  dollars.  Also  in  the 
event  of  it  being  inconvenient  for  a  station 
agent  to  pay  all  of  this  amount  at  once, 
the  payment  might  be  spread  over  a  period 
of  six  (6)  months  by  deducting  equal 
amount.s  monthly  from  his  wages  until  paid. 
The  above  also  to  apply  to  errors  in  pas- 
senger matters. 

ARTICLE  Vin. 

If    telegraphers    are,    by    direction    of    the 

company,    called   upon    to   be    in    attendance 

in  court,  or  at  inquests,   or  otherwise,  upon 

matters  involving  protection  to.  or  in  the  in-

ceed what  they  would  earn  and  their  ex- 
penses, the  company  shall  not  pay  any-

<-reated,  Or  new  duties  added  to  positions

(EFFECTIVE    MAY    1,    1917.) 


The  following  rules  and  rates  of  pay  will 
govern  the  employment  of  telegraphers  and 
station  agents,  whose  duties  require  them 
to  perform  telegraph  service,  also  agents  not 
required  to  telegraph  (as  shown  in  wage 
scale)  employed  upon  the  line  of  this 
company. 

RULES. 

1.  All  employes  assigned  by  proper  author- 
ity to  the  railway  telegraph  or  railway  tele- 
phone service  of  any  character  or  duration, 
and  also  the  station  agents  incorporated  in 
the  -accompanying  schedule  of  wages,  will  be 
considered  telegraphers  within  the  meaning 
of  this  schedule  and  are  so  called  herein. 

2.  Wlien  new  positions  are  created  the 
compensation  therefor  will  be  fixed  in  con- 
formity with  positions  of  the  same  class  in 
this  schedule. 

3.  All  employes  in  the  telegraph  service 
will  bo  regarded  as  in  line  for  promotion, 
advancement  depending  upon  faithful  dis- 
charge of  duties  and  capacity  for  increased 
responsibility.  Where  ability  and  conduct 
permit,  seniority  rules  will  govern.  The 
proper  oiTicial  of  the  company  shall  deter- 
mine the  fitness  of  telegraphers  for  employ- 
ment and  advancement.  Seniority  rights 
will  date  from  last  date  of  entering  the 
service. 

4.  Telegraphers  covered  by  this  schedule 
will  not  be  suspended  or  discharged  without 
just  cause,  and  will  be  accorded  fair  and 
impartial  investigation.  When  wanted  for 
investigation  the  telegrapher  will  be  given 
sufficient  notice,  stating  specific  charges. 
He  may  be  accompanied  by  an  employe  rep- 
resenting his  class,  if  he  so  desires,  who 
may  remain  throughout  the  entire  hearing. 
In  case  of  suspension  or  dismissal  after  in- 
vestigation and  the  decision  is  not  satisfac- 
tory, the  case  may  be  appealed  to  the  higher 
officials  in  regular  order,  and,  in  the  event 
he  is  found  not  guilty  he  will  be  re-instated 
and  paid  for  all  time  lost. 

5.  (a)  Seniority  will  only  be  effective  when 
vacancies  occur,  new  positions  created,  or 
positions  abolished,  except  that  agents  will 
not  be  displaced. 

(b)  A  telegrapher  shall  not  be  eligible  to 
a  position  vacated  by  him  until  same  shall 
have  been  advertised. 

6.  A  seniority  list  of  all  employes  covered 
by  this  schedule  will  be  issued  semi-annually 
by  the  company,  and  a  copy  of  same  fur- 
nished to  all  employes  affected. 

7.  (a)  All  vacancies  or  new  positions  will 
be  advertised  for  a  period  of  ten  days,  bul- 
letins to  be  issued  on  the  tenth  and  twenty- 
fifth  of  each  month  and  sent  to  each  office 
by  mail.  These  bulletins  to  show  rates  of 
pay  and  hours  of  service  of  positions.  Bul- 
letins will  be  mailed  to  telegraphers  who 
are  absent.  All  vacancies  to  be  filled  within 
twenty  days  after  bids  close  by  the  telegra- 
pher entitled  to  it.  A  telegrapher  not  trans- 
ferred within  the  specified  time  will  receive 
relief  agent's  salary  thereafter  until  trans- 
fer is  made.  Each  bulletin  will  show  award 
of  positions  advertised  in  previous  issue. 


(b)  Positions  or  vacancies  of  six  months' 
or  more  duration  shall  be  considered  perma- 
nent and  so  advertised.  Positions  of  more 
than  thirty  days  and  less  than  six  months' 
duration  shall  be  considered  temporary  and 
so  advertised.  When  temporary  vacancies 
or  new  positions  are  bid  in  by  a  regular 
man,  he  will  revert  back  to  his  regular 
position  upon  the  return  of  the  regular  man, 
or  when  temporary  position  is  abolished. 
When  the  duration  of  a  temporary  vacancy 
or  new  position  exceeds  six  months  the  po- 
sition shall  be  considered  permanent  and  so 
advertised,  except,  when  the  vacancy  is 
caused  by  sickness,  disability,  committee 
work,  or  special  duty  for  the  company. 

In  case  of  a  temporary  vacancy  of  less 
than  thirty  days  at  an  office  where  two  or 
more  telegraphers  are  employed,  the  as- 
signed telegrapher  at  such  office  shall  be  al- 
lowed to  fill  the  vacancy,  and  the  extra 
employe  assigned  to  the  office  shall  be 
placed  in  the  position  made  vacant  by  the 
advancement  of  the  other  employes.  This 
shall  not  apply  to  the  detriment  of  the 
service.  This  rule  does  not  apply  to  posi- 
tions temporarily  abolished.  Telegraphers 
displaced  through  temporary  abolishment  of 
their  positions  will  thereafter  be  governed  by 
the  provisions  of  Rule  5. 

(c)  A  telegrapher  bidding  in  a  position  and

on  his  position  close,  be  assigned  to  the 
extra  list,  but  shall  not  forfeit  his  seniority 
rights.  He  may  bid  on  the  position  he  lost 
by  declining  to  accept  the  position  he  bid 
in,  but  will  be  junior  to  all  other  bidders 
for  such  position. 

(4>  The  senior  extra  telegrapher  shall  have 
preference  of  all  extra  work,  if  competent, 
but  if  working  when  a  vacancy  occurs  and 
a  junior  telegrapher  is  assigned,  the  junior 
telegrapher  will  hold  the  position  for  a 
period  of  ten  days  when  he  may  be  dis- 
placed  by  the  senior  telegrapher. 

8.  Overtime  will  be  allowed  for  all  hours 
worked  in  excess  of  the  regular  established 
hours  at  any  point. 

9.  (a)  In  computing  overtime,  thirty  min- 
utes and  less  than  sixty  minutes  shall  bt-

(b)  Overtime  will  not  be  allowed  unless 
overtime  slip  is  forwarded  to  the  chief  traiti

lime  is  not  allowed.

five  (35)  cents  per  hour  for  every  consecu- 
tive hour   worked,   unless   the  pro-rata  rate 

■is    higher,    when    overtime    will    be    paid    at 
pro  rata  rates  until  relieved. 

(d)  If  called  before  or  after  regular  hours 
telegraphers  will  be  paid  fifty-five  (55)

were  approved  by  the  superintendent,  such 
approval  to  be  made  within  ten  days  after

A  train  dispatcher  will  retain  his  seniority 
standing  among  the  agents  and  operators. 

In  filling  the  position  of  chief  dispatcher,

the  vacancy  occurs,  including  chief  dis- 
patchers,   shall   be   eligible.

transferred  will  be  allowed  seiiiority  on  the 
new  district  to  the  extent  of  three-quarters 
his  length  of  service  on  the  said  general 
division.  In  such  case  the  telegrapher  mak- 
ing the  transfer  will  take  his  place  on  the 
extra  list  and  will  have  the  right  to  file 
into  bulletined  positions  as  per  Clause  5

length  of  service  and  the  capacities  iji  which 
he  has  been  employed  on  the  general  divi- 
sion, which  will  be  his  authority  for  claim- 
ing seniority  on  the  district  to  which  he  is 
transferring. 

This  provision  will  also  apply  to  a  telegra- 
pher of  not  less  than  two  years'  service 
desiring  to  transfer  from  one  general  divi- 
sion to  another,  except  that  in  such  cases 
};he  transfer  certificate  will  not  carry  with 
it  any  seniority  rights,  but  will  entitle  the 
holder  to  the  position  of  junior  extra  teleg- 
rapher on  the  superintendent's  district  to 
which   he    is   transferring. 

Trans/er  certificates  will  not  be  valid  un- 
less filed  with  the  superintendent  of  the  dis- 
trict to  which  transfer  is  being  made,  within 
thirty   days  from   date  of  issue. 

Clause  3.  When  a  vacancy  occurs  the 
superintendent  will  fill  same  by  appointing 
the  senior  man  who  is,  in  his  opinion,  enti- 
tled to  it,  but  this  will  not  prevent  any 
telegrapher  senior  to  the  man  so  appointed 
claiming  his  right  to  the  position  under 
Clause  (a>  hereof,  providing  he  files  his 
protest  within  fifteen  days  after  the  appoint- 
ment  lias   been   bulletined   as   above. 

Clause  4.'  Telegraphers  will  have  the  ex- 
clusive right  to  any  position  incorporated 
in  Article  XXIV  of  this  schedule;  also  to 
any  new  telegraphers'  positions  created. 

Telegraphers  will  also  be  eligible  with 
employes  in  other  branches  of  the  service 
for  promotion  to  any  of  the  agencies  not 
incorporated  in  Article  XXIV. 

Clause  5.  In  the  case  of  vacancies  occur- 
ring or  of  new  positions  being  created  for 
which  telegraphers  are  eligible  under  this 
schedule,  they  will  be  advertised  for  fifteen 
days  by  bulletin  sent  to  all  stations,  during 
which  time  application  may  be  made. 

All  .  vacancies  occurring  and  permanent 
appointments  made  will  be  bulletined  within 
one  week  and  filled  within  thirty  days  from 


date  position  becomes  vacant.  The  accept- 
ance by  the  senior  applicant  is  imperative. 

A.  telegrapher  on  leave  of  absence  when  a 
vacancy  occurs  will  not  be  debarred  from 
claiming  position  and  receiving  appointment 
if  entitled  to  it,  providing  that  such  claim 
is  made  within  thirty  days  from  date  of 
bulletin. 

When  a  telegrapher  accepts  a  transfer  and 
after  a  fair  trial  is  found  incapable,  he  will 
take  his  place  as  a  spare  telegrapher,  but 
will   ret.ain   his   seniority   rights. 

ARTICLE  VII. 

Transfers  (See  also  Art.  XI). 

When  a  telegrapher  is  transferred  by  order 
of  the  proper  oflicial  he  will  receive  free 
transportation  for  himself,  family  and  house- 
hold goods,  and  will  suffer  no  loss  of  time 
in  consequence,  such  time  not  to  exceed 
four    days.  -^ 

ARTICLE  VIII. 

A  telegrapher  not  accepting  promotion  of- 
fered by  the  management  will  not  forfeit 
his  right  to  any  vacancy  occurring  there- 
after. 

ARTICLE   IX. 
Positions  Abolished. 

The  management  will  not  abolish  positions 
incorporated  in  Article  XXIV,  except  in  case 
of  reduction  of  staff.  A  telegrapher  holding 
a  position  so  abolished  will  receive  fourteen 
days'  notice  of  same,  and  will  be  entitled 
to  the  position  then  held  by  the  junior  per- 
manently located  telegrapher  in  that  dis- 
trict,  and  will  retain  his  seniority  rights. 

In  case  of  a  dispatcher's  position  being 
abolished,  the  dispatcher  affected  will  be 
entitled  to  the  position  held  by  the  junior 
permanent  dispatcher  in  that  office,  and  the 
dispatcher  so  displaced  will  be  entitled  to 
the  position  held  by  the  junior  permanently 
located  dispatcher  in  that  promotion  dis- 
trict. 

ARTICLE   X. 

Seniority   Lists. 

Complete  lists  will  be  prepared  of  all 
telegraphers  on  each  of  the  districts  named 
in  Article  VI,  such  lists  to  show  the  senior- 
ity of  all  telegraphers  on  such  districts  and 
to  be  open  to  their  inspection  at  the  superin- 
tendent's office.  These  lists  will  be  subject 
1o  correction  on  proper  representation  from 
any  telegrapher,  and  a  corrected  copy  of  the 
lists  will  be  furnished  to  the  local  and  gen- 
eral chairman  on  application  at  the  begin- 
ning of  each  year.  Seniority  protests  by 
telegraphei's  will  not  be  valid  unless  filed 
within  one  year  from  the  date  of  publication 
of  same. 

ARTICLE  XI.

the  management  to  any  other  branch  of  the 
-service  will  receive  not  less  than  his  regular 
.=alary  under  this  schedule  and  will  likewise 
be  entitled  to  all  the  privileges  therein  pro- 
vided. He  will  retain  his  seniority  rights 
for  three  years  in  the  class  from  which 
transferred.  Any  position  so  vacated  will 
be  bulletined  and  filled  by  senior  qualified 
applicant   within   three   months.

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


AJEITICLE  XII. 
Work  From  Which  Telegraphers  Are  EKcmpt.

ting in  shed  shall  be  done  jointly  with  the 
brakeman  and  further  reasonable  assistance 
will   be   furnished   when   necessary. 

Note. — The  foregoing  does  not  mean  that 
the  telegrapher  is  to  refuse  to  receipt  for  or 
give  protection  to  mails  at  points  where  the 
local  conditions  are  such  as  to  make  it 
impracticable  for  other  arrangements  to  be 
made. 

ARTICLE  XIII. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  required  to  teach 
telegraphy  nor  will  a  telegrapher  teach  teleg- 
raphy on  the  railways'  premises  without 
the  written  permission  of  the  superintend- 
ent. 

ARTICLE  XIV. 
Attending  Court,    Etc. 

Telegraphers  called  upon  to  attend~court 
or  investigations  at  the  request  of  the. 
proper  official  of  the  railways,  will  receive 
pay  at  their  stated  rate  of  salary,  not  more 
than  one  day's  time  for  each  twenty-four 
hours,  and  if  away  from  home  will  be  al- 
lowed actual  expenses  on  production  of  re- 
ceipts. 

ARTICLE  XV.

ARTICLE  XVI. 
Sunday  Work. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  required  to  work 
on  Sundays,  except  when  absolutely  neces- 
sary to  protect  the  railways'  interests. 
When  required  to  work  on  Sunday,  they  will 
be  so  advised  on  the  preceding  Saturday 
and  will  be  paid  for  such  service  pro  rata  on 
stated  salary  at  time  and  one-half  their 
regular  rate.  In  no  case  will  less  compen- 
sation than  two  hours  at  time  and  one-half 
be  allowed. 

Example:  A  ten -hour  day  position  rated 
at  $78.00  per  month,  or  under.  Regular  rate 
is  thirty  cents  per  hour,  and  for  Sundays 
will  be  forty-five  cents  per  hour.  In  no 
case  less  than  two  hours  for  Sunday  call 
equal   to  ninety  cents. 

Further  example:  A  ten-hour  day  position 
rated  at  $100.00  per  month.  Regular  rate  is 
thirty-eight  cents  per  hour,  for  Sunday  will 
be  fifty-seven  cents  per  hour.  In  no  case 
less  than  two  hours  for  a  Sunday  call,  equal 
to  $1.14. 

In  regard  to  this  article,  when  the  extreme 
time  limits  of  the  time  worked  during  any 
number  of  calls  do  not  exceed  two  hours' 
time,  it  will  be  considered  as  one  call,  for 
which  two  hours'  compensation  will  be 
allowed. 

Example:  A  telegrapher  called  at  8:00 
o'clock,  relieved  at  8:15,  called  again  at  9:00 
o'clock,   relieved  at  9:20,   called  at  9;45,  re- 


lieved at  10:00,  one  call,  two  hours'  time 
allowed. 

If  the  second,  or  any  subsequent  call,  or 
the  time  worked  is  not  covered  by  the  two- 
hour  limit,  the  additional  time  in  excess  of 
the  two  hours  will  be  allowed. 

Example:  A  telegrapher  called  at  8:00 
o'clock,  relieved  at  8:30,  called  again  at  9:45, 
relieved  at  10:25,  two^  hours'  time.  If  the 
calls  are  separated  so  that  each  call  occurs 
beyond  the  two-hour  limit,  two  hours'  time 
will  be  allowed  for  each  call. 

Eicample:  A  telegrapher  called  at  ,8:00 
o'clock,  relieved  at  8:15,  called  again  at 
10:30,  relieved  at  10:35,  called  again  at  1:00 
p.  m.,  relieved  at  1:30  p.  m.,  called  again  at 
3:00  p.  m.,  relieved  at  3:20  p.  m.  Four  calls, 
eight   hours'   time   allowed. 

ARTICLE  XVII. 
Holidays. 

Telegraphers  who  are  regular  trick  dis- 
patchers will  be  granted  three  weeks'  leave 
of  absence  annually,  with  full  pay;  other 
telegraphers  who  are  permanently  employed 
will,  after  one  year's  service,  be  granted 
two  weeks'  leave  of  absence  annually,  with 
full  pay. 

Telegraphers  who  are  temporarily  em- 
ployed will,  after  working  three  hundred 
days  in  any  one  calendar  year,  be  granted 
two  we5ks'  leave  of  absence,  with  full  pay, 
and  will  be  furnished  free  transportation  for 
themselves  and  families  to  any  point  on  the 
system. 

They  will,  on  application,  receive  from 
their  superintendent  a  letter  showing  that 
they  liave  been  granted  such  leave  of 
absence. 

In  the  event  of  the  railway  not  being  able 
to  relieve  the  telegrapher  and  grant  him  his 
leave  of  absence  at  any  time  in  any  one 
year,  such  leave  of  absence  will  be  added 
to  his  leave  of  absence  in  the  following 
year. 

A  telegrapher  being  discharged  or  leaving 
the  service  on  proper  notice,  before  obtain- 
ing the  deferred  leave  of  absence,  will  be 
paid  salary  for  the  same. 

Applications  for  leave  of  absence  filed  in 
January  of  each  year  will  be  given  prefer- 
ence in  order  of  seniority  of  applicant,  and 
applicants  will  be  advised  in  February  of 
dates  allotted  them.  January  applicants  will 
have  preference  over  later  applicants,  and 
applicants  after  thirtieth  of  September  will 
not  he  entitled  to  salary  compensation,  if  the 
railway  is  unable  to  relieve  them  in  that 
year.  The  railway  will,  as  far  as  practicable, 
relieve  all  applicants  during  the  summer 
season  when  so   desired. 

Telegraphers  failing  to  get  holidays  asked 
for  in  any  one  year  will  have  first  choice 
for  holidays  in  the  following  year,  in  the 
order  of  their  seniority. 

ARTICLE   XVIII. 
Commissions. 

Present  arrangement  of  permitting  telegra- 
phers to  accept  commissions  from  express- 
and  telegraph  companies  doing  business  on 
the  railway  will  be  continued. 

ARTICLE  XIX. 
Hours  of  Duty. 

(a)  At  offices  where  two  or  less  telegra- 
phers  are   employed,    ten   consecutive   hours 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales.

exclusive  of  meal  hour  will  constitute  a  day"s 
work. 

At  offices  where  more  than  two  operators 
are  employed  not  more  than  ten  consecutive 
hours,  including  meal  hour,  or  at  the  rail- 
way's optio;:.  eight  consecutive  hours  with- 
out meal  hour  shall  constitute  a  day's  work. 
Agents  at  such  offices  will  not  be  required 
to  perform  any  wire  work,  except  in  case 
of  emergency  or  as  mutually  agreed  upon 
by  the  general  superintendent  and  general 
chairman. 

Kxcept  in  cases  of  emergency,  telegraphers 
will  have  eight  congecutive  hours'  rest  per 
day. 

The  hours  of  duty  of  all  agents  will  com- 
mence  between    6:00   and   8:00   o'clock   a.    m. 

Exception:  Except  that  the  hours  for 
ticket  agents,  assistant  ticket  agents  and 
ticket  clerks  need  not  be  consecutive,  and 
may  be  irregular  as  required  for  the  accom- 
modation of  passenger  trains,  or  to  comply 
with  the  requirements  of  the  passenger 
department. 

(b)  Telegraphers  working  ten  hours  per 
day  will  be  allowed  sixty  consecutive  min- 
utes for  a  meal  between  either  7:00  a.  m. 
and  9:00  a.  m.  or  12:00  noon  aiid  2:15  p.  m., 
or  5:00  p.  m.  and  7:00  p.  m.,  or  between 
midnight  and  2:1.5  a.  m.,  or  receive  in  lieu 
thereof  one  hour  overtime,  provided  that  a 
day  telegrapher  working  ten  hours  will  be 
allowed  his  meal  hour  between  12:00  noon 
and  2:15  p.  m.  This  will  not  apply  to  serv- 
ice rendered  to  the  express  or  commercial 
telegraph  business. 

Nothing  herein  will  prohibit  a  dispatcher 
from  granting  two  meal  hours  to  a  telegra- 
pher working  ten  hours,  the  intention  being 
to  grant  regular  meal  hours  so  far  as  the 
business  of  the  railway  will  permit.  A 
telegrapher  having  undelivered  train  orders 
on.  hand  at  expiration  of  his  hours  of  duty 
must  remain  and  make  personal  transfer 
of  same  to  the  telegrapher  relieving  him. 

(c)  Telegraphers  will  be  allowed  overtime 
at  the  rate  of  time  and  one-half,  according 
to  salary,  based  on  twenty-six  days  per 
month,  but  in  no  case  less  than  forty-five 
cents  per  hour.  Less  than  thirty  minutes 
not  to  count,  thirty  minutes  or  over  to  count 
as  one  hour,  except  that  telegraphers  when 
required  to  remain  on  duty  after  regular 
hours  if  detained  fifteen  minutes  will  be 
allowed  one  hour  overtime  for  the  first  hour 
or   any   portion    thereof. 

(d)  If  a  telegrapher  is  called  before  or 
after  office  hours  he  will  be  allowed  65  cents, 
which  shall  cover  one  hour's  service.  If 
kept  on  duty  more  than  one  hour,  overtime 
will  be  allowed  thereafter  as  per  clause   (c). 

(e)  The  regular  hours  of  duty  will  be 
specified  by  the  superintendent  to  all  telegra- 
phers. If  required  for  service  outside  these 
hours,  telegraphers  will  be  given  an  official 
order  as  authority  and  excused  in  the  same 
manner. 

(f)  Overtime  will  not  be  allowed  unless 
overtime  tickets  are  mailed  to  the  proper 
official  within  forty-eight  hours  from  the 
time  the  service  is  performed.  If  overtime, 
as  claimed,  is  not  allowed,  telegraphers  will 
be  notified  in  writing  within  ten  days  from 
the  time  such  service  is  pei-formed,  setting 
forth   the   reason   for  disallowance. 

Telegraphers  will  number  overtime  tickets 
consecutively    for    each    month. 


(g)  Eight  consecutive  hours'  train  dis- 
patching and  time  required  for  transferring 
will  constitute  a  day's  work  for  a  trick  dis- 
patcher. Train  dispatchers  will  not  be  re- 
quired to  do  clerical  work  that  will  inter- 
fere witli  the  proper  handling  of  their 
trains. 

(h)  Eight  consecutive  hours  will  constitute 
a  day's  work  for  telegraphers  in  the  fol- 
lowing offices:  Yard  office.  Point  Tupper; 
yard  office.  Pirate  Harbor;  station,  JMew 
Glasgow;  yard  office,  Stellarton;  station, 
Halifax;  Station  and  yard  office,  Truro;  sta- 
tion, Springhill  Junction;  station  and  yard 
office,  Moncton;  station,  Newcastle;  station, 
Campbellton;  station,  Mont  Joli;  station. 
Riviere  du  Loup;  station,  Levis;  yard  office, 
Joffre  (Centre);  station,  Ste.  Rosalie  Junc- 
tion;   station,    St.    John. 

ARTICLE  XX. 
Relief  Work. 

A  sufficient  number  of  regular  relief 
agents  ahall  be  appointed  on  each  superin- 
tendent's district,  who  will  receive  the  sal- 
ary of  the  man  relieved,  but  in  no  case  less 
than  as  provided  for  in  Article  XXIV. 

Regular  telegraphers  called  upon  to  do  re- 
lief work  temporarily  will  receive  the  salary 
of  the  man  relieved,  provided  it  is  not  less 
than  their  own,  and  75  cents  per  day  addi- 
tional for  expenses  if  away  from  their  regu-- 
lar  station. 

Spare  telegraphers  called  upon  to  do  re- 
lief work  will  receive  the  salary  of  the  man 
relieved.  It  is  understood  that  when  regular 
relieving  agents  are  not  engaged  in  relieving, 
they  m.ay  be  used  in  the  superintendent's, 
audit  or  other  offices  or  at  any  other  clerical 
employinent.  Telegraphers  who  aie  junior 
in  the  service  will  not  be  given  spare  work 
in  preference  to  senior  spare  telegraphers. 

Vacancies  in  the  regular  relief  agent's  staff 
will  be  advertised  in  the.  usual  way,  and  the 
senior  qualified  applicant  on  each  superin- 
tendent's district  will  receive  appointment. 

Regular  relief  agents  will  only  be  required 
for  duty  on  their  superintendent's  district, 
and  will  be  eligible  for  promotion  to  posi- 
tions within  the  territory  (as  specified  in 
Clause  1  of  Article  VI>  from  which  they 
are   taken. 

ARTICLE    XXL 
Dwellings   in   Station   Premises. 

All  stations  where  dwelling,  fuel  and  light 
are  provided,  the  dwelling  will  be  reserved 
exclusively  for  the  use  of  the  agent  and  his 
family,  unless  he  elects  to  reside  elsewhere. 
In  such  case  the  choice  will  be  given  to 
telegraphers  at  that  station  in  order  of 
seniority,  unless  special  conditions  make  it 
impracticable   to   do   so. 

When  no  dwelling,  fuel  and  light 
perquisites  are  supplied  agents,  a  minimum 
compensation  of  ten  dollars  ($10.00)  per 
month  will  be  paid  in   lieu  thereof. 

Station  offices,  waiting  rooms,  etc.,  will 
be  cleaned  at  the  railway's  expense. 

ARTICLE  XXIL 
Attending    Lamps. 

If  telegraphers  are  required  to  attend  oil 
lamps  in  switches,  yard  limits,  or  sema- 
phores, they  will  receive  four  dollars  ($4.00) 
per   month   for   four  or   less   lights,   and   fifty 


66 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


cents  (50c)  per  month  for  each  additional 
switch,  yard  limit,  or  semaphore  light  at 
such  station. 

Nothing  in  this  article  will  relieve  telegra- 
phers from  their  responsibilities  of  seeing 
that  the  telegraph  sigr.al  and  all  other  sig- 
nals are  in  perfect  working  order,  and  at 
night  that  all  lamps  are  clean  and  burning 
brightly.  The  lighting  and  attending  of 
switch,  yard  limit,  semaphore  lamps  will, 
as  far  as  practicable,  be  performed  by  other 
available  force. 


ARTICLE   XXIII. 
Telegraphers   Overtaxed    May    Have   Redress. 

If  a  telegrapher  considers  himself  over- 
taxed, his  statement  to  that  effect  to  the 
proper  official  will  be  carefully  considered, 
and  if  well-founded,  relief  will  be  granted. 

When  an.  agent  asks  for  help  the  superin- 
tendent will  either  furnish  it  or  arrange  an 
investigation  of  conditions  within  ten  days. 
If  such  investigation  sustains  the  claim  of 
the  agent  the  help  will  be  furnished.  If  such 
investigation  is  against  the  agent,  the  latter 
may  file  his  protest  with  the  superintendent, 
who  will  immediately  ask  the  general  super- 
intendent to  send  a  special  investigator, 
familiar  with  station  work,  to  report  on  the 
case,  which  will  be  within  ten  days.  If 
such  investigator  reports  that  the  help  la 
required  it  will  be  furnished  forthwith.  If 
he  reports  that  it  is  not  required  the  agent 
may  appeal  direct  to  the  general  chairman, 
who,  after  investigation  to  satisfy  himself, 
will  handle  the  case  as  a  grievance  begin- 
ning with   the  general  superintendent. 

In  a  case  where  the  railway  desires  to  re- 
duce help,  the  agent  will  be  given  one 
week's  notice,  unless  he  agrees  that  he  can 
spare  the  help  at  once.  If  the  agent  claims 
the  assistance  is  still  required,  he  will  so 
advise  his  superintendent,  and  the  latter  will 
conduct  an  investigation  as  outlined  in  the 
preceding   paragraph. 

If  the  agent  is  dissatisfied  with  the  ver- 
dict his  protest  to  the  superintendent  will 
result  in  a  special  investigation  at  the  in- 
stance of  the  general  superintendent  in  the 
same  manner  as  provided  above,  the  same 
channels  of  appeal  being  open  to  the  agent 
as   therein  outlined. 

At  points  where  operators  are  overworked 
or  kept  on  duty  an  excessive  length  of  time, 
upon  furnishirg  particulars,  the  inspector  of 
transportation  will  be  instructed  to  go  there 
and  look  into  the  conditions  with  the  general 
chairman,  or  with  any  representative  he  may 
select,  and  if  they  recommend  any  change  in 
conditions  to  relieve  the  operator  it  will  be 
arranged.

WESTERN     LINES. 


(EFFECTIVE    NOVEMBER    1,    1917.) 


The  following  rules  and  wages  will  govern 
the  telegraphers  on  the  Western  Lines  of 
the   Canadian  Government  Railways: 

Whon  additional  telegraphers'  positions 
are  created,  compensation  will  be  fixed  in 
conformity  with  that  of  the  same  class  as 
shown    in    this    schedule. 

ARTICLE  L 
All  employes  assigned  by  proper  authority 
to  railway  telegraph  service  or  railway  tele- 
phone service  of  any  character  or  duration, 
also  station  agents  incorporated  in  the  ac- 
companying schedule  of  wages,  will  be  con- 
sidered telegraphers  within  the  meaning  of 
this  schedule  and  are  so  called  herein. 

ARTICLE  II. 
Telegraphers  Serving  on  Boards  or  Attend- 
ing Meetings. 
A  telegrapher  will  not  be  discriminated 
against  for  being  a  member  of  the  Order 
of  Railway  Telegraphers,  nor  for  serving 
on  boards  of  adjustment  representing  teleg- 
raphers, and  will  be  given  leave  of  absence 
and  furnished  free  transportation  on 
Canadian  Government  Railways  for  such 
purposes.     They  will  also  receive  the   same 


privilege  for  the  purpose  of  attending  their 
meetings  on  any  part  of  the  line,  when  it 
is  possible  to  do  so  without  inconvenience 
or  additional  expense  to  the  railway. 

ARTICLE   III. 
•Discipline. 

No  telegrapher  shall  be  suspended  (except 
for  investigation),  discharged  or  disciplined 
until  his  case  has  first  been  investigated  and 
he  has  been  proven  guilty  of  the  offense 
charged  against  him;  the  decision  in  such 
case  to  be  arrived  at  within  ten  days  from 
date  of  suspension.  If  a  telegrapher  is  found 
blameless  in  the  matter  under  investigation 
he  will  be  paid  at  schedule  rates  for  the 
time  lost  and  extra  expenses  while  attending 
such  investigations,  if  away  from  home,  on 
production  of  receipts,  and  be  reinstated.  If 
detained  more  than  ten  days  awaiting  inves- 
tigation at  the  railways'  instance  he  will  be 
paid  schedule  wages  for  the  time  in  excess 
of   ten   days,   whatever   the   decision   may   be. 

Telegraphers  may  have  the  assistance  of 
one  or  two  telegraphers,  if  they  so  de- 
sire.

sult   of    an    investigation    and    the    reasons

to  the  local  board  of  adjustment,  if  re- 
quested   by    it. 

ARTICLE  IV.

the  service,  after  giving  due  notice  re- 
quired by  rules,  he  will  be  given  the  usual 
certificate  from  the  proper  offlcial,  stating 
the  terms  of  service,  capacity  in  wliich  em-

spection. 

ARTICLE   VI. 

Seniority. 

(a)  All  promotions  will  be  governed  by 
merit  and  ability,  of  which  the  general 
superintendent  will  be  the  judge;  these  be- 
ing sufficient,  telegraphers  longest  in  the 
seivice  or  those  holding  seniority  rights  ac- 
cording to  their  class  will  have  the  prefer- 
ence. 

(bj  When  a  vacancy  occurs  the  super- 
intendent will  fill  the  same  by  appointing, 
the  senior  applicant  within  thirty  days.  This 
does  not  apply  to  promotions  to  an  official 
position  of  a  higher  grade  than  a  chief  dis- 
patcher. 

(c)  Telegraphers  will  have  exclusive 
rights  to  any  position  incorporated  in  Ar- 
ticle XXII  of  this  schedule,  also  to  any  new 
telegraphers'    positions  created. 

(d>  Telegraphers  will  also  be  eligible  with 
other  employes  in'  other  branches  of  the 
service  to  be  considered  in  line  for  promo- 
tion to  any  agencies  not  incorporated  in- 
Article  XXII. 

(e)  The  right  of  promotion  of  telegra- 
phers (except  train  dispatchers)  shall  ex- 
tend over  the  following  districts: 

— Each    Superintendent's    District — 

(f)  The  right  of  promotion  of  train  dis- 
patchers shall  extend  over — 

— General   Superintendent's   Division — 
Promotion  will  be  in  order  from  senior  re- 
lieving   dispatcher    to    trick    dispatcher    and 
from   trick   dispatcher  to   chief  dispatcher. 

(g)  In  filling  vacancies  in  any  oflice  senior 
dispatchers  shall  have  the  choice  of  tricks, 
but  no  change  of  tricks  will  be  permitted 
within  one  year,  except  with  the  consent  of 
the  superintendent,  or  in  the  event  of  a 
vacancy    occurring. 

When  there  is  a  vacancy  in  the  relieving 
dispatching  staff  it  will  be  advei'tiscd  on  the 
district  (as  per  Clause  1  of  this  Article) 
where  the  ultimate  vacancy  occurs,  and 
telegraphers  will  be  given  an  opportunity  to 
pass  an  examination  as  train  dispatcher  in 
the  order  of  their  seniority.  Tlie  senior 
qualified  applicant  will  receive  the  appoint- 
ment. 

(h)  A  train  dispatcher's  seniority  as  such 
will  date  from  the  time  his  examination  pa- 
pers were  approved  by  the  superintendent; 
such  approval  to  be  made  within  ten  days 
after  examination. 


Train  dispatchers  will  retain  their  senior- 
ity standing  among  the  agents  and  oper- 
ators. 

(i)  In  filling  the  position  of  chief  dis- 
patcher, any  dispatcher  in  the  territory  in 
which  the  vacancy  occurs,  including  chief 
dispatchers,   shall  be   eligible. 

Telegraplier's  seniority  will  count  from  the 
date  he  last  entered  the  service  as  a  teleg- 
rapher. 

(j>  Telegraphers  of  not  less  than  two 
years  of  service  will,  on  application,  be 
transferred  from  one  promotion  district  to 
another,  within  thirty  days  from  date  of 
such  application,  and  when  so  transferred 
will  bo  allowed  seniority  on  the  new  district 
to  the  extent  of  three-quarters  of  their 
length  of  service.  In  such  case  the  teleg- 
rapher making  the  transfer  will  take  his 
place  on  the  extra  list  and  will  have  the 
right  to  file  into  bulletined  positions  to  which 
his   seniority  would   entitle  him. 

A  telegrapher  applying  for  transfer  will  be 
given  a  transfer  certificate  showing  his 
length  of  service  and  the  capacity  in  which 
he  has  been  employed,  which  will  be  his 
authority  for  claiming  his  seniority  on  the 
districL   to   which   he    is   transferring. 

Transfer  certificate  will  not  be  valid  un- 
less filed  with  the  superintendent  of  the  dis- 
trict to  which  transfer  is  made,  within  thirty 
days  from   date  of  issue. 

In  the  case  of  vacancies  occurring,  'or  of 
new  positions  being  created  for  which  teleg- 
raphers are  eligible  under  this  schedule,  they 
will  be  advertised  for  fifteen  days  by  bulle- 
tin sent  to  all  .stations,  during  which  time 
applications   can   be   made. 

(k)  All  vacancies  will  be  bulletined  within 
one  week  and  appointments  made  within  a 
reasonable  time  thereafter  and  will  be  im- 
mediately bulletined.  The  acceptance  by 
the   senior  qualified  applicant  is   imperative. 

A  telegrapher  on  leave  of  absence,  when  a 
vacancy  occurs,  will  not  be  debarred  from 
claiming  position  and  receiving  appointment, 
if  entitled  to  it,  providing  that  such  claim 
is  made  within  thirty  days  from  date  of  bul- 
letin. 

(1)  When  a  telegrapher  accepts  a  transfer 
and  after  a  fair  trial  is  found  incapable, 
he  will  take  his  place  as  a  spare  telegi-apher 
and  will  retain  his   seniority  rights. 

ARTICLE  VII. 

Seniority. 

Teles^-aphers  not  wishing  to  accept  promo- 
tion offered  by  the  management  will  not 
lose  any  right  to  any  vacancy  occurring 
thereafter. 

ARTICLE  VIII. 

Seniority. 

If  a  position  included  in  the  attached 
schedule  is  abolished,  the  telegrapher  will 
be  entitled  to  the  position  held  by  the  junior 
permanently  located  telegrapher  on  the 
superintendent's    district. 

In  case  of  a  dispatcher's  position  being 
abolished,  the  dispatcher  affected  will  be 
entitled  to  the  position  held  by  the  junior 
permanent  dispatcher  in  that  oflSce  and  the 
dispatcher  so  displaced  will  be  entitled  to 
the  position  held  by  the  junior  permanently 
located  dispatcher.

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


ARTICLE  IX. 
Seniority. 

Complete  lists  will  be  prepared  of  all 
telegraphers  on  each  of  the  districts  named 
in  Article  VI,  such  lists  to  show  the  seniority 
of  all  telegraphers  on  such  districts  and  to 
be  open  to  their  inspection  at  the  superin- 
tendent's office.  These  lists  will  be  subject 
to  correction  on  proper  representation  by 
any  telegrapher  and  a  corrected  copy  of  the 
lists  will  be  furnished  to  the  local  and  gen- 
eral chairman  on  application,  at  the  begin- 
ning  of   each   year. 

Seniority  protests  by  telegraphers  will  be 
invalid  unless  filed  within  60  days  from  the 
date    of    publication    of   same. 

ARTICLE   X. 
Seniority. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  transferred  at  the 
request  of  the  proper  official  or  in  the  ex- 
ercise of  his  seniority  rights,  he  will  receive 
free  transportation  for  himself,  his  family 
and  his  household  goods,  and  will  suffer  no 
loss  of  time  in  consequence — such  time  not 
to   exceed   four   days. 

ARTICLE   XI. 
Shoveling  Snow,   Etc. 

Telegraphers  will  be  exempt  from  shovel- 
ing enow,  stenciling  cars,  sifting  coal  ashes, 
cutting,  loading  or  unloading  wood  or  coal, 
attending  flower  gardens,  cleaning  and  dis- 
infecting stations,  outbuildings,  stock  or 
other  cars,  handling  government  mails.  The 
unloading  of  way  freight  from"  cars  and 
putting  in  shed  shall  be  done  jointly  with 
the  braiceman,  and  further  reasonable  as- 
sistance will  be  furnished  when  necessary. 

Note: — The  foregoing  does  not  mean  that 
the  telegrapher  is  to  refuse  to  receipt  for  or 
give  protection  to  mails  at  points  where 
the  local  conditions  are  such  as  to  make  it 
impracticable  for  other  arrangements  to  be 
made. 

ARTICLE  XII. 
Care   of  Oil    Lamps. 

If  telegraphers  are  required  to  attend  oil 
lamps  on  switches,  yard  limits  or  sema- 
phores, they  will  receive  four  dollars  ($4.00) 
per  month  for  four  or  less  lights  and  fifty 
cents  (50  cents)  per  month  for  each  addi- 
tional switch,  yard  limit,  or  semaphore  light 
at  such  station.  Nothing  in  this  article  will 
relieve  telegraphers  from  their  responsibili- 
ties or  seeing  that  the  telegraph  signal  and 
all  other  signals  are  in  perfect  working  or- 
der and  at  night  that  all  lamps  are  clean 
and  burning  brightly.  The  lighting  and  at- 
tending of  switch,  yard  limit,  semaphore 
lamps,  will  as  far  as  practicable  be  per- 
formed  by   other   available    force. 

ARTICLE  XIIL 
Teach  Telegraphy. 
Telegraphers  will  not  be  required  to  teach 
telegraphy,  nor  will  a  telegrapher  teach 
telegraphy  on  the  railway  premises  without 
the  written  permission  of  the  superin- 
tendent. 

ARTICLE  XIV. 
Attend  Court,  Etc. 
Telegraphers   called   upon   to  attend   court 
or  investigations  at  the  request  of  the  prop- 


er official  of  the  railway  will  receive  pay 
at  their  stated  rate  of  salary;  not  more 
than  one  day's  time  for  each  twenty-four 
hours,  and  if  away  from  home,  will  be  al- 
lowed actual  expenses  on  production  of  re- 
ceipts. 

ARTICLE  XV. 

Duty  in  Case  of  Accidents. 

Telegraphers  performing  duties  at  wrecks, 

washouts  or  other  emergency  offices  will  be 

paid  their  stated  salary  and  actual  expenses 

on    production    of    receipts. 

ARTICLE  XVI. 
Hours    of    Duty. 

(a)  The  regular  hours  of  duty  will  be 
specified  by  the  superintendent  to  all  teleg- 
raphers. If  required  for  service  outside 
these  hours  telegraphers  will  be  given  an 
official  order  as  authority  and  excused  in  the 
same    manner. 

Sunday    Work. 

(b)  Telegraphers  (except  train  dispatch- 
ers) will  not  be  required  to  work  on  Sun- 
days, except  when  absolutely  necessary  to 
protect  the  railway's  interests.  When  re- 
quired to  work  on  Sunday  they  will  be  so 
advised  on  the  preceding  Saturday  and  will 
be  paid  overtime  for  such  service  at  time 
and  one-half,  based  on  schedule  rates, 
twenty-six  days  per  month.  In  no  case  will 
less  compensation  than  two  hours  at  time 
and    one-half    be    allowed. 

(c)  In  circumstances  where  telegraphers 
are  obliged  to  remain  close  at  hand  all  day 
Sunday  on  account  of  calls  being  spread 
over  the  whole  day,  they  will  be  paid  for 
the  whole  day,  and  where,  iinder  the  same 
circuinstances,  they  are  obliged  to  remain 
close  at  hand  for  half  a  day  on  Sunday,  they 
will  be  paid  for  half  a  day.  That  Is  to  say, 
if  a  telegrapher  is  required  to  come  on  duty 
two  or  three  times  in  the  forenoon  and  is

forth  the  reasons  for  disallowance.  Teleg- 
raphers will  number  overtime  tickets  con- 
secutively  for   each   month. 

Ten-Hour    Day. 

(.S)  At  offices  where  two  or  less  telegra- 
phers are  employed,  ten  consecutive  hours, 
exclusive  of  nieal  hours,  shall  constitute  a 
day's   work. 

(h>  At  offices  where  an  agent  and  two  op- 
erators are  employed,  ten  consecutive  hours 
per  day,  including-  meal  hour,  or  at  the  rail- 
way's option  eight  consecutive  hours,  with- 
out rneal  hour,  shall  constitute  a  day's 
work.  The  agent  at  such  offices  shall  not  be 
required  to  perform  any  wire  work,  except 
in  case  of  emergency. 

Eight-Hour   Day. 
(i>  At  offices  -where   three   or  more   oper- 
ators are  employed,   eight  consecutive  hours 
will  constitute  a  day's  work. 

Rest. 

(j>  Except  in  cases  of  emergency  telegra- 
phers will  have  eight  consecutive  hours'  rest 
per    day. 

Commencement    of    Duty, 
(k)   The   hours    of   duty  of   all   agents    will

telegrapher  working  ten  hours  will  be  al- 
lowed his  meal  hour  between  12:00  noon  and 
2:15  p.  m.  This  will  not  apply  to  service 
rendered  the  express  and  commercial  tel- 
egraph  business. 

(m)  Nothing  herein  will  prohibit  a  dis- 
patcher from  granting  two  meal  hours  to  a 
telegrapher  working  ten  hours.  The  inten- 
tion being  to  grant  regular  meal  hours  so 
far  as  the  business  of  the   railway  permits. 

(n)  A  telegrapher  called  before  his  regvi- 
lar  hours  of  duty,  who  cannot  be  let  off  for 
breakfast,  will  be  entitled  to  pay  for  the 
meal    hour. 

Eight-Hour   Day   Telegraphers. 

(o)  !Eight  consecutive  hours  will  constitute 
a  day's  work  for  telegraphers  at  the  follow- 
ing points:  Cochrane.  Graham,  Transcona, 
Mission,  Redditt  (during  grain  season), 
Hearst  (when  necessary),  Raith  (when  nec- 
essary). 

Note: — "When  only  two  operators  are  re- 
quired at  Hearst,  the  rate  will  be  $105.00 
per    month. 

Eight-Hour    Day    Dispatchers. 

(p)  Eight  consecutive  hours'  train  dis- 
patching and  time  required  for  transferring 
will  corstitute  a  day's  work  for  a  trick  dis- 
patcher. Train  di.=patchers  will  not  be  re- 
quired to  do  clerical  work  that  will  Inter- 
fere with  the  proper  handling  of  their 
trains. 

Dispatcher's    Six- Day    Week, 
(q)  If    a    train    dispatcher    is    required    to 
work  outside  of  his  regular  assigned  hours 


or   more    tlian    six   days   in   a   week,   he   will 
be    paid    overtime    rate. 

Swing   Dispatchers. 

(r)  Swing  dispatchers  working  less  than 
six  days  per  week  as  dispatchers  will  not 
have  preference  over  relief  dispatchers  in 
relieving  regular  trick  dispatcliers  on  leave 
of  absence  for  more  than  three  days,  nor 
will  they  be  used  during  any  portion  of  the 
weeli  when  not  employed  as  dispatchers 
to  fill  any  position  to  which  another  telegra- 
pher is  assigned,  except  when  such  telegra- 
pher is  on  leave  of  absence. 

Relief   Dispatchers. 

(s)  Relief  dispatchers,  after  one  year's  ac- 
cumulative service  as  such,  will  take  the 
rating  of  trick  dispatcher  according  to 
length  of  service,  three  hundred  and  thir- 
teen days  to  constitute  one  year  in  every 
case.  Relief  dispatchers  will  receive  fifty 
cents  per  day  expenses  while  away  from 
headquarters. 

ARTICLE  XVII. 
Leave  of  Absence. 

Regular  trick  dispatchers  will  be  allowed 
three  weeks'  leave  of  absence  each  year 
witli  full  pay.  Other  telegraphers  who  have 
been  in  the  employ  of  the  railway  three 
hundred  days  in  one  year  will  be  allowed 
two  weeks'  leave  of  absence  each  year  with 
full  pay.  If  the  railway  finds  it  inconveni- 
ent to  grant  leave  of  absence  during  any 
year  to  a  telegrapher  entitled  to  it  under 
this  rule,  the  telegrapher  shall  at  his  option 
receive  either  compensation  at  his  regular 
salary  for  the  period  or  in  the  next  year 
additional  leave  of  absence  for  a  like  period. 

Application  for  leave  of  absence  filed  in 
January  of  each  year  will  be  given  prefer- 
ence in  order  of  seniority  of  applicant,  and 
applicants  will  be  advised  in  February  of 
dates  allotted  to  them.  January  applicants 
will  have  preference  over  later  applicants, 
and  applicants  after  September  30th  will  not 
be  entitled  to  any  salary  compensation,  if 
the  railway  is  not  able  to  relieve  them  in 
that  year.  The  railway  will,  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, relieve  all  applicants  during  the 
svmimer   months,    when    so    desired. 

Note: — Telegraphers  will,  on  filing  their 
applications  for  leave  of  absence,  receive 
from  their  superintendent  a  letter  advising 
that  they  have  been  granted  such  leave  of 
absence   or   otherwise. 

In  the  event  of  a  telegrapher  being  dis- 
charged or  leaving  the  service  on  proper 
notice  before  obtaining  deferred  leave  of 
absence,  he  will  be  paid  his  salary  for  same. 

ARTICLE   XVIII. 

Telegraph    and    Express   Commissions. 

Present  arrangement  of  permitting  teleg- 
raphers to  accept  commissions  from  ex- 
press and  telegraph  companies  doing  busi- 
ness on  the  railway  will  be  continued,  but 
telegraphers  will  not  be  allowed  overtime 
for  attending  regular  passenger  trains  before 
or  after  their  regular  hours  of  duty  to 
handle  express  or  when  called  before  or  after 
their  regular  hours  of  duty  to  handle  mes- 
sages  for  such   companies.

ARTICLE  XIX. 
Relief  Agents. 

A  .sufficient  number  of  relief  agents  shall 
be  appointed  on  each  superintendent's  dis- 
trict, who  will  receive  $120.00  per  month, 
without    expenses. 

Relief  Telegrapiiers. 
Regular  telegraphers  called  upon  to  do  re- 
lief, work  temporarily  will  receive  the  salary 
of  the  man  relieved,  provided  it  is  not  less 
than  their  own,  and  seventy- five  cents  per 
day  additional  for  expenses,  if  away  from 
their    regular    station. 

Spare    Telegraphers. 

Spare  telegraphers  called  upon  to  do  re- 
lief work  will  receive  the  salary  of  the  man 
relieved.  It  is  understood  that  when  regular 
relievirtg  agents  are  not  engaged  in  reliev- 
ing they  may  be  used  in  the  superin- 
tendent's, audit  or  other  offices,  or  in  any 
other  clerical  employment.  Telegraphers  who 
are  junior  in  the  service  will  not  be  given 
spare  work  m  preference  to  qualified  senior 
spare  telegraphers,  except  where  a  junior 
spare  telegrapher  is  relieving  an  agent  or 
at  an  important  point  when  to  make  a 
change  would  mean  additional  cost  to  the 
railway. 

Vacancies  to   Be  Advertised. 

Vacancies  in  the  regular  relief  agents' 
staff  will  be  advertised  in  the^isual  way  and 
the  senior  qualified  applicant  on  each  super- 
intendent's dLstrict  will  receive  the  appoint- 
ment. 

Relief  Agents'  Promotion. 

Regular  relief  agents  will  only  be  required 
for  duty  on  their  superintendent's  district 
and  will  be  elig'ble  for  promotion  to  posi- 
tions within  the  territory  (a.s  specified  in 
Clause  1,  Article  VI)  from  which  they  are 
taken. 

ARTICLE  XX. 
Dwelling,    Etc. 

At  stations  where  dwelling,  fuel  and  light 
are  provided,  the  dwelling  will,  as  far  as 
practicable,  be  reserved  exclusively  for  the 
use  of  the  agent  and  his  family,  unless  he 
elects  to  reside  elsewhere,  in  which  case 
permanently  appointed  operator  having  a 
family  is  to  have  first  refusal.  The  railway 
will  keep  the  dwelling  in  good  repair.  Occu- 
pants must  keep  such  dwellings  and  sur- 
roundings clean  and  must  pay  for  repair 
other  than  those  due  to  ordinary  wear  and 
tear. 

When  no  dwelling,  fuel  and  light  per- 
quisites are  supplied  agents,  a  minimum 
comijensation  of  ten  dollars  ($10.00)  per 
month  will  be  paid  in  lieu   thereof. 

Station  oflices,  waiting  rooms,  etc.,  will 
be   cleaned   at    the   railway's    expense. 

ARTICLE  XXr. 
Claim   Being  Overworked. 

If  a  telegrapher  considers  himself  over- 
taxed, hi.s  statement  to  that  effect  to  the 
proper  official  will  be  carefully  considered, 
and    if  well   founded   relief   will   be   granted. 

M''hen  an  agent  asks  for  help  the  superin- 
tendent will  either  furnish  it  or  arrange  an 
investigation  of  conditions  within  ten  days. 
If  .'uch  investigation  sustains  the  claim  of 
the    agent,    the    help    will    be    furnished.      If 


such  investigation  is  against  the  agent,  the 
latter  may  file  his  protest  with  the  super- 
intendent, who  will  immediately  ask  the 
general  superintendent  to  send  a  special 
investigator,  familiar  with  station  work,  to 
report  on  the  case,  which  will  be  within  ten 
days.  If  such  investigator  reports  that  the 
help  is  required,  it  will  be  furnished  forth- 
with. If  he  reports  that  it  is  not  required, 
the  agent  may  appeal  direct  to  the  general 
chainnan.  who,  after  investigating  to  satisfy 
himself,  will  handle  the  case  as  a  grievance, 
beginning   with    the   general    superintendent. 

In  a  case  where  the  railway  desires  to  re- 
duce help,  the  agent  will  be  given  one  week's 
notice,  unless  h^  agrees  that  he  can  spare 
the  help  at  once.  If  the  agent  claims  the 
assistance  is  still  required,  he  will  so  ad- 
vise his  superintendent  and  the  latter  will 
conduct  an  investigation  as  outlined  in  the 
preceding   paragraph. 

If  the  agent  is  dissatisfied  with  the  ver- 
dict, his  protest  to  the  superintendent  will 
lesult  in  a  special  investigation  at  the  in- 
stance of  the  general  superintendent  in  the 
.same  manner  as  provided  above;  the  same 
channels  of  appeal  being  open  to  the  agent 
.as    therein    outlined. 

At  points  where  operators  are  overworked 
or  Icept  on  duty  an  excessive  length  of  time, 
upon  furni.shing  particulars,  the  inspector 
of  transportation  will  be  instructed  to  go 
there  and  look  into  the  conditions  with  the 
general  chairman,  or  with  any  represen- 
tative he  may  select,  and  if  they  recommend 
any  clian.ge  in  conditions  to  relieve  the  oper- 
ator,   it    will    be    arranged.

each  sirperintendent's  district,  and  will  be 
governed  by  merit,  fitness  and  ability;  where 
these  are  sufficient  the  senior  telegrapher 
will  be  given  the  preference,  provided  that 
telegraphers  (except  train  dispatchers)  of 
not  less  than  two  years'  service  will  on  ap- 
plication be  transferred  from  one  superin- 
tendent's district  to  another  on  the  general 
division  within  thirty  days  from  date  of  such 
application,  and  when  so  transferred  will  be 
allowed  seniority  on  the  new  district  to  the 
extent  of  three-fourths  their  length  of  serv- 
ice on  the  district  from  which  transferred. 
In  such  case  the  telegrapher  making  the 
transfer  will  take  his  place  on  the  extra 
list,  and  will  have  the  right  to  file  into  bul- 
letined positions  as  per  Clause  (c)  hereof. 

Transfer. 

A  telegrapher  applying  for  a  transfer  will 
be  given  a  transfer  certificate  showing  his 
length  of  service  and  the  capacities  in  which 
he  has  been  employed  on  the  said  general 
division,  which  will  be  his  authority  for 
claiming  his  seniority  on  the  district  to 
which    he    is    transferring. 

Transfer  certificates  will  not  be  valid  un- 
less filed  with  the  superintendent  of  the 
district  to  which  transfer  is  being  made 
within  thirty  days  from  date  of  issue. 

Seniority. 

(b)  A  telegrapher's  seniority  will  date  from 
the  time  he  last  entered  the  service  as  a 
telegrapher.  Seniority  will  only  be  exer- 
cised when  vacancies  occur.

telegrapher  senior  to  the  man   so  appointed

given  a  transfer  certificate  which  will  en- 
title them  to  preference  in  filling  new  posi- 
tions or  vacancies  on  other  districts  of  the 
system,  provided  they  are  available  when  re- 
quired. 

Positions    Abolislied. 

(f>  If  a  position  included  in  the  attached

Preamble. 

The  following  reule.s  and  wages  will  gov- 
ern the  telegraphers  on  the  Canadian  North- 
ern Railway: 

When  additional  telegraphers'  positions  are 
created,  compensation  will  be  fixed  in  con- 
formity w  ith  that  for  positions  of  the  saine 
class  as  shown  by  this  schedule. 

ARTICLE  L 
All  employes  assigned  by  proper  authority 
to  railway  telegraph  or  railway  telephone 
service  of  any  character  or  duration,  and 
also  the  station  agents  incorporated  in  the 
accompanying  schedule  of  wages,  will  be 
considered  telegraphers  within  the  meaning 
of  this  schedule,  and  are  so  called  herein. 

ARTICLE  II. 
(a)  The  right  of  promotion  of  telegraphers 
(except  train  dispatchers  and  linemen)  will 
extend  over  each  general  superintendent's 
district,  and  will  be  governed  by  merit,  fit- 
ness and  ability;  where  these  are  sufficient 
the  senior  telegrapher  will  be  given  the 
preference,  provided  that  telegraphers  (ex- 
cept train  dispatchers  and  linemen)  of  not 
less  than  two  years'  service  will  on  applica- 
tion be  transferred  from  one  general  super- 
intendent's  district   to   another  on   the   gen- 


eral districts,  within  thirty  days,  from  date 
of  such  application,  and  when  so  transferred 
will  be  allowed  seniority  on  the  new  district 
to  the  extent  of  three-fourths  their  length 
of  service  on  the  district  from  which  trans- 
ferred. In  such  case  the  telegrapher  making 
the  transfer  will  take  his  place  on  the  extra 
list  and  \\ill  have  the  right  to  file  into  bul- 
letined positions  as  per  Clause  (c)   hereof. 

A  telegrapher  applying  for  a  transfer  will 
be  given  a  transfer  certificate  showing  his 
length  of  service,  and  the  capacities  in  which 
he  has  been  employed  on  the  said  general 
districts,  which  will  be  his  authority  for 
claiming  his  seniority  on  the  district  to 
which  he  is  transferring.  ' 

Transfer  certificates  will  not  be  valid  un- 
less filed  with  the  superintendent  of  the 
division  to  which  transfer  is  being  made 
within  thirty  days  from  date  of  issue. 

(b)  A  telegrapher's  seniority  will  date 
from  the  time  he  last  entered  the  seryice  as 
a  telegrapher. 

The  seniority  of  telegraphers  employed  on 
lines  under  construction  or  absorbed  by  the 
company  will  date  from  their  last  employ- 
ment as  a  telegrapher  on  such  lines.  "When 
newly  constructed  lines  are  taken  over  by 
the  operating  department  all  telegraphers' 
positions  will  be  considered  vacant,  and  they

W'U  be  bulletined  over  the  general  districts, 
and  any  telegrapher  in  line  of  promotion  to 
them  will  have  tifteen  days  within  which  to 
make  application  for  same.  When  two  or 
more  teltgraphers  are  empioyed  on  the  same 
day,  their  seniority  standing  will  be  deter- 
mined  by  the   time   they   start  work. 

(cj  All  vacancies  and  appointments  will 
be  immediately  bulletined  by  a  "23"  message 
over  the  superintendent's  division.  When 
vacancies  in  positions  are  bulletined,  the 
bulletin  will  state  rate  of  compensation  and 
whether  or  not-  the  company  supplies  a 
dwelling.  Applications  for  vacancies  must 
be  made  within  ten  days  from  date  of  bul- 
letin. 

Telegraphers  (except  train  dispatchers  and 
linemen;  desiring  to  exercise  their  seniority 
or  promotion  rights  on  the  general  super- 
intendent's district  other  than  on  the  divi- 
sion on  which  they  are  located,  will  so  ad- 
vise their  superintendent,  who  will  furnish 
them  with  copies  of  vacancy  bulletins  on 
other  divisions  of  the  general  district  and 
such  telegrapher  may  make  application  for 
same  through  his  superintendent,  which  ap- 
plication will  receive  consideration  as  per 
Clause  (a). 

A  telegrapher  declining  to  accept  promo- 
tion in  ajiy  instance  does  not  forfeit  his 
rights  to  the  same  or  any  other  position  he 
may  be  entitled  to  under  seniority  when  a 
vacancy  occurs.  A  telegrapher  on  leave  of 
absence  when  a  vacancy  occurs  will  not  be 
debarred  from  claiming  position  and  receiv- 
ing appointment  if  entitled  to  it,  provided 
that  si;ch  claim  is  made  within  thirty  days 
from  date  of  bulletin  of  vacancy.  A  va- 
cancy will  be  filled  within  thirty  days  after 
it  occurs  by  the  appointment  of  the  man  en- 
titled to  it.  Chief  dispatchers  or  other  offl- 
cials  v/ill  advise  local  chairman  of  all  va- 
cancies. 

If  a  telegrapher  receives  consent  from  the 
company  to  leave  the  service  for  a  period  of 
six  months  or  less  he  may  retain  his  posi- 
tion and  seniority  for  that  period.  If  his 
leave  of  absence  is  extended  beyond  six 
months  his  .position  will  at  once,  be  bul- 
letined vacant,  and  seniority  forfeited.  This 
Is  not  intended  to  apply  to  cases  of  sickness 
which  are,  in  the  opinion  of  the  superin- 
tendent and  local  chairman,  bona  fide. 

Telegraphers  applying  for  a  position  ad- 
vertised may.  if  they  so  desire,  cancel  their 
application  within  fifteen  days  from  the  date 
of  adverti.<5ing  the  vacancy.  Should  the 
senior  applicant  withdraw  or  not  receive  the 
appointment  the  next  senior  qualified  appli- 
cant who  has  not  withdrawn  will  then  be 
appointed  without  another  bulletin  being  is- 
sued advertising  the  vacancy.  After  such 
period  of  fifteen  days,  a  request  to  cancel 
or  withdraw  his  application  will  not  be  con- 
sidered, and  the  position  from  which  he  is 
transferring  will  be  immediately  advertised. 
'  and  he  cannot  again  bid  in  his  former  posi- 
tion  until   it  again   becomes  vacant. 

"WTien  a  vacancy  occurs,  the  superin- 
tendent will  fill  the  same  by  apnointing  the 
senior  man  who  is.  in  his  opinion,  entitled 
to  the  position,  but  that  will  not  prevent  any 
telesTanh^r  senioi-  to  the  man  so  annointed 
claimine-  his  richt  under  Clause  Ca)  hereof  to 
the  position,  provided  he  flies  his  protest 
within  ten  days  after  the  appointment  has 
been  bulletined  as  above. 


(d>  Telegraphers  in  the  employ  will  be 
given  preference  in  filling  vacancies  or  open- 
ings on  extensions  or  new  lines  of  the  gen  ■ 
eral  districts,  their  applications  to  be  en- 
dorsed by  the  superintendent  of  the  division 
on  which  applicant  is  employed. 

When  a  new  line  is  taken  over,  and  sta- 
tions are  subsequently  added  to  it,  the  first 
manning  of  these  positions  will  be  adver- 
tised over  the  general  districts  until  the  ex- 
piration of  two  years  from,  the  date  the 
line  was  taken  over. 

ie.)  In  case  of  reduction  in  the  number  of 
telegraphers  employed,  the  junior  telegraph- 
ers on  the  superintendent's  division  will  first 
be  dispensed  with.  If  their  services  were 
satisfactory  they  will,  on  application,  be 
given  a  transfer  certificate  which  will  entitle 
them  to  preference  in  filling  new  positions 
or  vacancies  on  other  districts  of  the  system 
provided  they  are  available  when  required, 
(f;  If  a  position  included  in  the  attached 
schedule  is  abolished,  the  telegrapher  will 
be  entitled  to  the  position  held  by  the  junior 
permanently  located  telegrapher  on  the  su- 
perintendent's division. 

(S)  A  complete  list  of  all  telegraphers  on 
each  superintendent's  division,  showing 
their  seniority  standing,  will  be  kept  on 
file  in  the  respective  train  diipatching  of- 
fices, open  to  inspection  of  all  telegraphers 
concerned.  This  list  will  be  subject  to 
correction  on  proper  representation  from 
any  telegrapher,  and  a  copy  of  it,  corrected 
to  date,  will  be  furnished  the  general  chair- 
man and  local  chairman  on  the  first  day  of 
January   of    each   year. 

(hj  Telegraphers  will  have  exclusive  right 
to  any  position  incorporated  in  the  wage 
schedule,  and  any  telegrapher's  position  sub- 
sequently added  in  accordance  with  the 
preamble,  also  to  any  new  telegraphers' 
positions  created  by  the  absorption  of  other 
lines  or  the  construction  of  new  lines,  when 
vacancies   in   such  positions  occur. 

0)  Telegraphers  will  also  be  eligible  and 
considered  in  line  of  promotion  to  the  posi- 
tion of  agent  at  any  of  the  stations  not  in- 
corporated in  the  wage  schedule  which  have 
been  omitted  in  view  of  conditions  which 
may  make  it  impracticable  or  unfair  to  fill 
those  positions  exclusively  from  one  branch 
of  the  service. 

(j>  Telegraphers  promoted  to  official  posi- 
tions with  the  company  will  retain  their 
seniority  according  to  the  class  from  which 
proinoted. 

(k)  The  right  of  promotion  of  train  dis- 
patchers will  extend  over  the  general  dis- 
tricts, and  will  be  governed  by  merit  and

train  dispatcher  will  have  the  preference. 
The  order  of  promotion  of  train  dispatchers 
will  be  from  senior  relieving  dispatcher  to 
trick   dispatcher. 

The  seniority  of  a  train  dispatcher  v(i\\ 
date  from  the  time  he  was  first  appointed  a 
trick  dispatcher  unless  by  his  own  consent 
he  takes  another  position  in  the  service  un- 
der which  circumstances  his  seniority  as  a 
train  dispatcher  will  date  from  the  time  he 
was   last   appointed   a   trick   dispatcher. 

P.el'PviPg  train  dispatchers  will  be  ap- 
pointed from  their  resnective  superintend- 
ent's divisions,  if  available,  in  accordance

patcher affected  will  be  entitled  to  the  posi- 
tion held  by  the  junior  permanent  dispatcher

placed will  be  entitled  to  the  position  held 
by  the  junior  permanently  located  dispatcher 
on  the  general  districts. 

Train  dispatchers  will  retain  their  senior- 
ity standing  among  the  agents  and  operators 
on  the  general  district  from  which  promoted.

sence for  more  than  three  days,  nor  will 
they  be  used  during  any  portion  of  the  week

any  position  to  which  another  telegrapher 
is  assigned  except  when  such  telegrapher  is 
on   leave  of  absence. 

A  chief  dispatcher  reduced  to  a  trick  dis- 
patcher will  be  entitled  to  the  junior  perma- 
nent dispatcher's  position  on  the  general 
district  on  which  he  has  last  worked  a  trick.

bulletined  as  permanent  will  be  protected  in 
their  previous  positions  for  the  term  of  one 
year.

ers) required  to  work  on  Sunday  or  outside 
of  regular  assigned  hours  on  week  days, 
will  be  paid  overtime  for  such  service  at 
time  and  ore-half,  based  on  schedule  rates, 
twenty-six  days  per  month;  any  portion  of 
an  hour  less  than  thirty  minutes  not  to 
count;  any  portion  of  an  hour  thirty  min- 
utes or  over  to  count  as  one  hour. 


<bj  If  a  telegrapher  ts  called  before  or

Clause  (a>  hereof,  with  a  minimum  compen- 
sation of  sixty  cents.  If  kept  on  duty  more

paid  at  overtime  rate  as  per  Clause  (a) 
hereof. 

(d)  Telegraphers  will  be  required  to  handle

two  or  three  times  in  the  forenoon  and  is 
free  in  the  afternoon,  he  is  to  be  paid  one- 
half  day;  while  if  he  is  required  three  or

will  be  allowed,  and  for  three  or  more  calls 
a  full  day's  pay  will  be  allowed,  except  when

lamp  in  excess  of  six.  When  semaphore 
lamps  are  included  fifty  cents  per  month  per 
lamp   additional   will  be  allowed. 

Nothing  in  this  Article  will  relieve  teleg- 
raphers from  their  responsibilities  under  the

paid  the  same  wages,  without  expenses,  as 
the  telegraphers  they  relieve,  provided  such 
wages  are   not   less  than   their  own.

nently located  will  be  considered  his  head- 
quarters. Relief  agents  will  be  allowed  sev- 
enty-five cents  per  day  expenses  when  away

shall  not  be  required  to  perform  any  wire 
work  except  in  cases  of  emergency. 

(c)  At  offices  where  three  or  more  oper-

agents  will  commence  between  six  and  eight 
o'clock  a.  m. 

Telegraphers  working  ten  hours  per  day 
will  be  allowed  sixty  consecutive  minutes 
for  a  meal  between  either  seven  and  nine 
a.  m.  or  twelve  noon  and  two-fifteen  p.  m., 
or  five  and  seven  p.  m.,  or  between  midnight 
and  two-thirty  a.  m.,  or  receive  in  lieu 
thereof  one  hour's  overtime,  provided  that  a 
day  teleerapher  working  ten  hours  will  be 
allowed  his  meal  hour  between  twelve  noon 
and    two- fifteen   p.    m.      This   will    not   apply 


to  service  rendered  the  express  or  commer- 
cial talegrapii  business. 

Nothing-  herein  will  prohibit  a  dispatcher 
from  granting  two  meal  hours  to  a  teleg- 
raplier  working  ten  hours,  the  intention  be- 
ing to  grant  regular  meal  hours  so  far  as 
tlie  business   of   the  company  permits. 

The  regular  hours  of  duty  will  be  specified 
by  the  superintendent  to  all  telegraphers.  If 
lequired  for  service  outside  these  hours, 
telegraphers  will  be  given  an  official  order 
as  authority  and  excused  in  the  same  man- 
ner. 

(e>  Telegraphers  required  to  meet  reg- 
ular scheduled  mixed  or  passenger  trains 
after  regular  hours  should,  if  the  train  is 
late,  remain  on  duty,  keeping  the  station 
open  for  the  accommodation  of  the  public, 
unless  instructed  to  the  contrary  by  the 
proper  officer  of  the  company,  and  they  will 
be  entitled  to  compensation  as  provided  by 
Article   XV. 

Whenever  a  third  operator's  position  is 
hereafter  created  the  salary  shall-  not  be 
less  than  the  minimum  rate  in  effect  at 
that  office. 

(f>  A  telegrapher  called  before  his  regular 
hours  of  duty  who  cannot  be  let  off  for 
breakfast  will  be  entitled  to  pay  for  the 
meal  hour. 

ARTICLE  XXI. 

Eight  consecutive  hours'  train  dispatching 
and  time  required  for  transferring  will  con- 
stitute a  day's  work  for  a  trick  dispatcher. 
Train  dispatchers  will  not  be  required  to 
do  clerical  work  that  will  interfere  with  the 
proper   handling  of   their   trains. 

ARTICLE  XXII. 

If  a  telegrapher  considers  himself  over- 
taxed, his  statement  to  that  effect  to  the 
proper  official  ■will  be  carefully  considered 
and  if  well  founded,  relief  will  be  granted. 

When  an  agent  asks  for  help,  the  superin- 
tendent will  either  furnish  it  or  arrange  an 
investigation  of  conditions  within  ten  days. 
If  such  investigation  sustains  the  claim  of 
the  agent  the  help  will  be  furnished.  If 
such  investigation  is  ag-ainst  the  agent,  the 
latter  may  file  his  protest  with  the  superin- 
tendent, who  will  immediately  ask  the  gen- 
eral superintendent  to  send  a  special  inves- 
tigator, familiar  with  station  work,  to  report 
on  the  case,  which  will  be  within  ten  days. 
If  "such  investigator  reports  that  the  help 
is  required,  it  ^vill  be  furnished .  forthwith. 
If  he  reports  that  it  is  not  required,  the 
agent  may  appeal  direct  to  the  general 
chairman  who,  after  investigation  to  satisfy 
himself,  will  handle  the  case  as  a  grievance, 
beginning   with    the   general    superintendent. 

In  a  case  where  the  company  desires  to 
reduce  help,  the  agent  will  be  given  one 
week's  notice,  unless  he  agrees  he  can  spare 
the  help  at  once.  If  the  agent  claims  the 
assistance  is  still  required  he  will  so  advise 
his  superintendent,  and  the  latter  will  con- 
duct an  investigation  as  outlined  in  the  pre- 
ceding paragraph.  If  the  agent  is  dissatis- 
fied with  the  verdict,  his  protest  to  the 
superintendent  will  restilt  in  a  special  inves- 
tigation at  the  instance  of  the  general  su-ner- 
intendent  in  the  same  manner  as  provided 
above,  the  same  channels  of  annual  being 
open   tn   the   agent   as  therein  outlined.

upon  furnishing  particulars  the  inspector  of 
transportation  will  be  instructed  to  gro  there 
and  look  into  the  conditions  with  the  general 
chairman,  or  ^s  ith  any  representative  he  may 
select,  and  if  they  recommend  any  change 
in  conditions  to  relieve  the  operators  it  will 
be   arranged. 

ARTICLE   XXIII. 

When  the  handling  of  express  or  telegraph 
business,  for  which  a  commission  payment 
is  allowed,  is  withdrawn  from  Vny  telegra- 
pher, the  wages  will  be  adjusted  to  conform 
with  that  of  similar  stations  in  the  same 
locality  where  such  woric  is  not  performed 
by  them. 

ARTICLE   XXIV. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  assigned  to  a  posi- 
tion and  after  a  fair  trial  is  found  incompe- 
tent, he  will  take  his  place  on  the  extra 
list,    retaining  his    seniority    rights. 

ARTICLE  XXV. 

Train  dispatchers  will  be  allowed  three 
weeks'  leave  of  absence  each  year,  with  full 
pay. 

Other  telegraphers  who  have  been  in  the 
employ  of  the  company  four  or  more  con- 
secutive years  will  be  allowed  two  weeks' 
leave  of  absence  each  year,  with  full  pay. 
If  the  company  finds  it  inconvenient  to  grant 
leave  of  absence  during  any  year  to  a  teleg- 
rapher entitled  to  it  under  this  rule,  the 
telegrapher  shall  at  his  option  receive  either 
compensation  at  his  regular  salary  for  the 
period  or  in  the  next  year  additional  leave 
of  absence  for  a  like  period. 

Application  for  leave  of  absence  filed  in 
January  of  each  year  will  be  given  prefer- 
ence in  order  of  seniority  of  applicant,  and 
applicants  will  be  advised  in  February  of 
date  allotted  them.  January  applicants  will 
have  preference  over  later  applicants,  and 
applicants  after  September  30th  will  not  be 
entitled  to  salary  compensation  if  the  com- 
pany is  unable  to  relieve  them  in  that  year. 
The  company  will,  as  far  as  practicable, 
relieve  all  applicants  during  the  summer 
sea.'^on  when   so  desired. 

In  the  event  of  a  telegrapher  being  dis- 
ciiarged  or  leaving  the  service  on  proper 
notice  before  obtaining  the  deferred  leave 
of  absence,  he  will  be  paid  his  salary  for 
same. 

All  applications  for  leave  of  absence  will 
be  acknowledged  in  writing  by  the  superin- 
tendents. 

ARTICLE  XXVI. 

Telegraphers  will  be  granted  transporta- 
tion of  their  household  goods  and  passes  or 
reduced  r-ates  and  leave  of  absence  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  general  regulations  of 
the  company  as  established  from  time  to 
time.  Telegraphers  and  their  families  at 
isolated  points  will  be  given  market  passes 
(not  to  exceed  two  trips  a  month)  to  points 
where   they   can    do   their    shopping. 

ARTICLE  XXVII. 
The  working  hours  of  linemen  will  be  reg- 
ular, and  will  not  exceed  ten  consecutive 
hours  per  day  exclusive  of  meal  hour.  A 
lineman  required  to  leave  his  own  district 
will  be  allowed  all  necessary  expenses  and 
extra  compensation  commensurate  with  re- 
"sponsibility  if  called  upon  to  take  charge  of 
any  number  of  men. 


District  linemen  will  be  allowed  all  neces- 
sary expenses  while  performing  duties  on 
their  own  districts  away  from  headquarters. 
Linemen  competent  to  hold  other  telegra- 
phers' positions  will  be  considered  eligible 
for  same  and  will  be  allowed  to  transfer  to 
the  class  of  service  covering  such  positions 
taking    three-fourths    their    seniority. 

The  seniority  of  linemen  will  date  from 
the  time  of  their  last  appointment  as  line-

XXV  and  XXVI  in  the  schedule  of  rules 
and  wages  will  also  apply  to  linemen.

will  not  forfeit  their  seniority  provided  they 
are  available  when  required. 

(c)  Assistant  agents  competent  to  hold 
other  telegraphers'  positions  will  be  consid- 
ered eligible  for  same,  and  will  be  allowed

such  positions  without  carrying  their  senior- 
ity  as   assistant   agents   with   them. 

(d)  The  advertising  and  filling  of  positions 
by  assistant  agents  will  be  governed  by  the

RULINGS. 
Article    II — Clause    (k) — 

Regular  trick  dispatchers  working  six 
days  a  week  are  permanent  dispatchers." 

Swing  dispatchers  are  rated  as  regular 
trick  dispatchers,  and  in  case  of  reduction 
of  staff  or  abolishing  offices  the  men  so 
displaced  will  displace  the  junior  permanent 
men  on  the  districts,  and  they  in  turn  will 
displace  the  swing  dispatchers,  according 
to  seniority;  the  idea  being  to  give  the 
senior  men  permanent  work  if  possible. 
This  does  not  interfere  with  office  seniority 
rights   as   shown   in   this   article. 

It  is  understood  that  relief  dispatchers 
filing  into  all  dispatchers'  positions  that  are 
bulletined  as  temporary  positions,  will  re- 
ceive the  rating  of  a  regular  trick  dis- 
patcher. 

Article   XIII— 

The  matter  of  handling  transfer  of  His 
Majesty's  mails  from  one  train  to  another 
at  certain  points,  and  referred  to  in  this 
article,  it  was  agreed  that  the  handling  of 
these  mails  at  one-man  stations  would  be 
looked  after  by  the  telegraphers  as  hereto- 
fore, and  if  there  was  any  case  where  it 
was  shown  that  there  was  any  hardship  in 
the  handling  of  same  that  the  telegraphers 
would  take  the  matter  up  as  a  grievance  for 
adjustment.  It  was  also  agreed  that  at 
points  where  there  was  an  assistant  agent 
or  other  staff  that  could  be  utilized  to  handle 


the  transfer  of  such  mail,  in  the  event  of  any 
mishandling,  the  man  assigned  to  do  such 
work  would  be  held  responsible. 

Article  XIV— 

In  the  matter  of  fuel  for  agents  at  points 
where  coal  equal  to  Edmonton  grade  cannot 
be  furnished,  the  company  agrees  to  furnish 
either  hard  coal  or  wood. 

Article    XV— 

The  hours  of  service  for  Sunday  will  be 
the   same   as   the   assigned   week-day   hours. 

Article    XVIII— 

It  is  understood  that  a  regular  relief  agent 
can  hold  a  permanent  position,  to  which 
he  can  return  after  relieving  the  men  during 
the  summer  months,  or  for  a  period  not 
exceeding  one  year,  in  which  case  his  station 
must  be  bulletined  temporarily,  but  the  posi- 
tion of  the  telegrapher  taking  this  temporary 
position  will  not  be  protected.  The  idea 
being  to  get  men  with  considerable  experi- 
ence to  do  the  relief  work.  In  cases  whire 
two  men  are  required  to  work  one  or  more 
days  making  a  transfer,  they  will  both  be 
paid   for   this   work. 

Article   XXV— 

Relief  agents'  holidays  will  start  from  the 
day  he  arrives  at  his  headquarters  unless 
by  his  own  consent  he  agrees  to  take  them 
from  some  point  on  the  road  where  he  has 
fmished   relieving  a  telegrapher. 

Article    XXX— 

A.ny  fraction  of  a  month  worked  by  a 
telegrapher,  whether  services  were  per- 
formed at  one  or  more  stations,  will  be 
considered   broken  time.

Canadian  Pacific  Railway 


(EFFECTIVE     AUGUST    1,     1917.) 


The  following  rules  and  wages  will  govern 
the  telegraphers  on  the  Canadian  Pacific 
Railway. 

When  additional  telegraphers'  positions  are 
created,  compensation  will  be  fixed  in  con- 
formity with  that  for  positions  of  the  same 
class  as  shown  in  this   schedule  : 

ARTICLE  I. 
All  employees  assigned  by  proper  author- 
ity to  railway  telegraph  or  railway  telephone 
service  of  any  character  or  duration,  also 
station  agents  incorporated  in  the  accom- 
panying schedule  of  wages,  will  be  consirlered 
telegraphers  within  the  meaning  of  this 
schedule  and   are  so   called    herein. 

ARTICLE  II. 
fa)  Thff  right  of  promotion  of  telesrraphers 
will  extend  over  each  general  superintend- 
ent's district  and  will  be  governed  by  merit, 
fitness  and  ability.  Where  these  are  suffi- 
cient the  senior  telegrapher  will  be  given 
preference. 


A  telesjrapher  of  not  less  than  two  years' 
service  desiring  to  transfer  from  one  gen- 
eral district  to  another  will  be  ffiven  a 
transfer  certificate  showing  his  length  of 
service  and  the  capacities  in  which  he  has 
been  employer!.  This  certificate  will  not 
carry  with  it  any  seniority  rights  but  will 
entitle  the  hoVier  to  the  position  of  junior 
extra  telegrapher  on  the  district  to  which 
he  is  transferrin-T.  Transfer  certificates  will 
not  be  valid  unless  filed  with  the  general 
superintendent  of  the  district  to  which  trans- 
fer is  being  made,  within  thirty  days  from 
date  of  issue. 

(b)  A  telegrapher's  seniority  will  date 
from  the  time  he  last  entererl  the  service  as 
a  telegrapher.  The  seniority  of  a  telegrapher 
employed  on  lines  under  construction,  or  ab- 
sorbed by  the  company,  will  date  from  his 
last  appointment  as  a  telegrapher  on  such 
lines.  When  newly  constructed  lines  are 
taken  over  by  the  operating  department  all 
telegraphers'  position  will  be  considered  va- 
cant and  any  telegrapher  in  line  for  promo- 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales.

tion  to  them  will  have  fifteen  days  within 
which  to  make  application  for  same.  When 
two  or  more  telegraphers  are  employed  on 
the  same  day  their  seniority  standing-  will 
be  determined   by  the  time  they  start  work. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  offered  a  position 
by  the  company  in  another  department  it  is 
not  obligatory  upon  him  to  accept,  and  if  he 
does  he  forfeits  seniority  rights  unless  an 
understanding  to  the  contrary  is  reached  be- 
tween himself  and  his  superintendent.  Any 
such  understanding  must  be  with  the  consent 
of  the  men  affected  and  made  through  the 
local   chairman. 

(c)  All  vacancies  and  apointments  for 
sixty  days  or  over  will  be  immediately  bul- 
letined by  "23"  message  over  the  superin- 
tendent's division  on  which  they  occur  (ex- 
cept train  dispatchers  and  linemen,  which 
will  he  bulletined  over  the  general  superin- 
tendent's district). 

Telegraphers  (except  train  dispatchers  and 
linemen),  desiring  to  exercise  their  seniority 
or  promotion  rights  on  general  superintend- 
ent's district  other  than  division  on  which 
they  are  located,  will  so  advise  their  super- 
intendent, who  will  furnish  them  with  co^es 
of  vacancy  bulletins  on  other  divisions  of 
the  general  district,  and  such  telegrapher 
may  make  application  for  same  through  his 
superintendent,  which  application  will  receive 
consideration  as  per  Clause   (a). 

When  vacancies  are  bulletined  the  bulletin 
will  state  the  rate  of  compensation  and 
wliether  or  not  the  company  supply  a  dwell- 
ing. Applications  for  vacancies  must  be  made 
within  ten  days  from  date  of  bulletin. 

A  telegrapher  declining  to  accept  promo- 
tion in  any  instance  does  not  forfeit  his 
riglit  to  the  same  or  any  other  position  he 
may  be  entitled  to  under  seniority  when  a 
vacancy  occurs.  A  telegrapher  on  leave  of 
absence  when  a  vacancy  occurs  will  not  be 
debarred  from  claiming  position  and  receiv- 
ing the  appointment,  if  entitled  to  it,  pro- 
viding that  such  claim  is  made  within  fifteen 
days  from  date  of  bulletin.  Chief  dispatch- 
ers or  other  official  will  advise  telegraphers' 
local  chairman  of  all  vacancies. 

If  a  telegrapher  receives  consent  from  the 
company  to  leave  the  service  for  a  period  of 
three  months  or  less  he  may  retain  his  posi- 
tion for  that  period. 

If  his  leave  of  absence  is  extended  beyond 
three  months  his  position  will  at  once  be 
bulletined  vacant  and  he  may  retain  senior- 
ity for  an  additional  three  months  after 
which  he  loses  all  rights.  This  is  not  in- 
tended to  apply  to  cases  of  sickness  which 
are,  in  the  opinions  of  the  superintendent 
and  local  chairman,  bona  fide. 

A  vacancy  will  be  filled  within  thirty  days 
after  it  occurs  Vjy  the  appointment  of  the 
telegrapher  entitled  to  it.  Telegraphers  ap- 
plying for  a  position  advertised  maj',  if  they 
so  desire,  cancel  their  application  within 
fifteen  days  from  the  date  of  the  advertising 
of  the  vacancy ;  should  the  senior  applicant 
withdraw,  or  not  receive  the  appointment, 
the  next  senior  qualified  applicant  who  has 
not  withdrawn  will  then  be  appointed  with- 
out another  bulletin  being  issued  advertis- 
ing the  vacancy.  After  such  period  of  fifteen 
days  a  request  to  cancel  or  withdraw  his 
application    will    not    be    considered   and    the 


position  from  which  he  is  transferring  will 
be  immediately  advertised  and  he  cannot 
again  bid  in  his  former  position  until  it 
again  becomes  vacant. 

Vacancies  in  the  position  of  relief  agents 
will  be  advertised  and  appointments  and 
cancellations  of  same  shall  be  made  in  writ- 
ing. 

When  a  vacancy  occurs  the  superintend- 
ent will  fill  same  by  appointing  the  senior 
man  who  is,  in  his  opinion,  entitled  to  it, 
but  this  will  not  prevent  any  telegraplier 
senior  to  the  man  so  appointed  claiming  nis 
right  to  the  position  under  Clause  (a)  he*%of, 
provided  he  files  his  protest  within  ten  days 
after  the  appointment  has  been  bulletined  as 
above. 

(d)  Telegraphers  in  the  employ  will  be 
given  preference  in  filling  vacancies  or  open- 
ings on  extensions  or  new  lines  of  the  gen- 
eral district,  their  applications  to  be  en- 
dorsed by  the  superintendent  of  the  division 
on  which  applicants  are  e/nployed.  When  a 
new  line  is  taken  over  and  stations  are  sub- 
s-equently  added  to  it  the  first  manning  of 
these  position  will  be  advertised  over  the 
general  district  until  the  expiration  of  two 
years  from  the  date  the  line  was  taken  over. 

(e)  In  case  of  reduction  in  the  number 
of  telegraphers  employed  the  junior  telegra- 
phers in  their  respecti^  e  superintendent's  di- 
visions will  be  first  dispensed  with.  If  their 
services  were  satisfactory,  they  will,  on  ap- 
plication, be  given  a  transfer  certificate  which 
will  entitle  them  to  preference  in  fillin?  new 
positions  or  vacancies  on  other  districts  of 
the  system,  provided  tliey  are  available  when 
required. 

(f)  If  a  position  included  in  the  attached 
schedule  is  abolished,  the  telegrapher  will 
be  entitled  to  the  position  held  by  the  junior 
permanently  located  telegrapher  on  the  sa- 
perintendent's  division.  Senior  men  shall 
have  preference  in  doing-  spare  work  when 
staff  is  reduced,  providing  in  the  opinion  of 
the  sviperintendent  they  are  capable. 

(g)  A  complete  list  of  all  the  telegraphers 
on  each  superintendent's  division  showing 
their  seniority  standing,  will  be  kept  on  file 
in  the  respective  train  dippatching  offices, 
open  to  the  inspection  of  all  telegraphers  con- 
cerned. This  list  will  be  subject  to  correc- 
tion on  proper  representation  from  any  teleg- 
rapher, and  a  copy  of  it,  corrected  to  date, 
will  be  furnished  the  general  chairman  at 
the  beginning  of  each  year.  Seniority  pro- 
tests by  telegraphers  shall  be  invalid  unless 
filed  within  one  year  from  the  date  of  pub- 
lication of  the  seniority  list. 

(h)  Telegraphers  will  have  the  exclusive 
right  to  all  positions  incorporated  in  the 
accompanying  wage  schedule,  and  any  teleg-- 
raphers'  positions  subsequently  addf^d  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  preamble,  also  to  any  new 
telegraphers'  positions  created  by  the  absorp- 
tion of  other  lines  or  the  construction  of  new 
lines  when  vacancies  in  such  positions  oc- 
cur. 

(i)  Telegraphers  will  also  be  eligible  and 
considered  in  line  of  promotion  to  the  posi- 
tion of  agent  at  any  of  tiie  stations  not  in- 
corporated in  the  attached  wage  schedule 
which  have  been  omitted  in  view  of  condi- 
tion which  may  make  it  impracticable  or  un- 
fair to  fill  these  positions  exclusively  from 
one  branch  of  the  service.

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


(j)  The  right  of  promotions  of  train  dis- 
patchers will  extend  over  each  general  su- 
perintendent's district  and  will  be  governed 
by  merit  and  ability ;  these  being  sufficient, 
the  senior  train  dispatcher  to  have  prefer- 
ence. 

The  right  of  train  dispatchers  to  transfer 
from  one  division  to  another  will  not  be  per- 
mitted when  it  will  seriously  impair  the  effi- 
ciency of  the  service.  The  order  of  promo- 
tion of  train  dispatchers  will  be  from  senior 
relieving  dispatcher  to  trick  dispatcher.  The 
seniority  of  a  train  dispatcher  will  date  from 
the  time  he  was  first  appointed  a  trick  dis- 
patcher unless  by  his  own  consent  he  takes 
another  position  in  the  service,  under  which 
circumstances  his  seniority  as  a  train  dis- 
patcher will  date  from  the  time  he  was  last

(telegraph  and  telephone)  will  extend  over, 
each  general  superintendent's  district  (rail- 
way) and  will  be  governed  by  merit  and 
ability;  where  these  are  sufficient,  the  senior 
men  will  be  given  preference.  Linemen  will 
be  specially  considered  in  line  of  prom.otion

quarters of  relief  agents  are  the  headquar- 
ters for  the  division,  unless  he  holds  a  per-

operators  are  employed  ten  consecutive  hours 
per  day,  exclusive  of  meal  hour,  or  at  the

Nothing  herein  will  prohibit  a  dispatcher 
from  granting  two  meal  hours  to  a  telegra- 
pher working  ten  hours,  the  intention  being 
to  grant  regular  meal  hour  so  far  as  the 
business  of  the   company  permits.

an  investigation  of  conditions  within  ten 
days.  If  such  investigation  sustains  the  claim 
'of  the  agent,  the  lielp  will  be  furnished.  If 
such  investigation  is  against  the  agent,  the 
latter  may  file  his  protest  with  the  superin- 
tendent, who  will  immediately  ask  the  gen- 
eral superintendent  to  send  a  special  investi- 
gator, familiar  with  station  work,  to  report 
on  the  case,  which  will  be  within  ten  days. 
If  such  investigator  reports  that  the  help 
is  required  it  will  be  furnished  forthwith. 
If  he  reports  that  it  is  not  required,  the 
agent  may  appeal  direct  to  the  general  chair- 
man, who,  after  investigation,  to  satisfy  him- 
self will  handle  the  case  as  a  grievance  be- 
ginning with  the  general  superintendent. 

In  a  case  where  the  company  desires  to 
reduce  help,  the  agent  will  be  given  one 
week's  notice,  unless  he  agrees  that  he-  can 
spare  the  help  at  once.  If  the  agent  claims 
the  assistance  is  still  required,  he  will  so 
advise  his  superintendent  and  the  latter  will 
conduct  an  investigation  as  outlined  in  the 
preceding  paragraph.  If  the  agent  is  dis- 
satisfied with  the  verdict  his  protest  to  the 
superintendent  will  result  in  a  special  in- 
vestigation at  the  instance  of  the  general 
superintendent  in  the  same  manner  as  pro- 
vided above,  the  same  channels  of  appeal  be- 
ing open  to  the  agent  as  therein  outlined. 

At  points  where  operators  are  overworked 
or  kept  on  duty  an  excessive  length  of  time, 
upon  furnishing  particulars,  the  inspector  of 
transportation  will  be  instructed  to  go  there 
and  look  into  the  conditions  with  the  general 
chairman,  or  with  any  representative  he  may 
select,  and  if  they  recommend  any  changes 
in  conditions  to  relieve  the  operators  it  will 
be  arranged. 

ARTICLE  XXIIL 
When  the  handling  of  express  or  telegraph 
business,  for  which  a  commission  payment  is 
allowed,  is  withdrawn  from  any  telegrapher, 
the  wages  will  be  adjusted  to  conform  with 
that  of  similar  stations  in  the  same  locality 
where  such  work  is  not  performed  by  them. 

ARTICLE  XXIV. 
When  a  telegrapher  is  assigned  to  a  posi-

If  the  company  finds  it  inconvenient  to  grant 
leave  of  absence  during  any  year  to  a  teleg- 
rapher entitled  to  it  under  this  rule,  the  teleg- 
rapher shall,  at  his  option,  receive,  either 
compensation  at  his  regular  salary  for  the 
period,  or  in  the  next  year  additional  leave 
of  absence  for  a  like  period. 

Applications  for  leave  of  absence  filed  in 
January  of  each  year  will  be  given  prefer- 
ence in  order  of  seniority  of  applicant,  and 
applicants  will  be  advised  in  February  of 
dates  allotted  them.  January  applicants  will 
have    preference    over    later    applicants,    and 


applicants  after  September  30th  will  not  be 
entitled  to  salary  compensation  if  the  com- 
pany is  unable  to  relieve  them  in  that  year. 
The  company  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  re- 
lieve all  applicants  during  the  summer  season 
when  so  desired. 

In  the  event  of  a  telegrapher  being  dis- 
charged or  leaving  the  service  on  proper 
notice  before  obtaining  the  deferred  leave  of 
absence,  he  will  be  paid  his  salary  for  same. 

ARTICLE  XXVI. 
Telegraphers  will  be  granted  transportation 
of  their  household  goods  and  passes  or  re- 
duced rates  and  leave  of  absence  in  accord- 
ance with  the  general  regulations  of  the  com- 
pany as  established  from  time  to  time. 

ARTICLE  XXVII. 

The  working  hours  of  linemen  will  be 
regular  and  will  not  exceed  ten  consecutive 
hours  per  day  exclusive  of  meal  hour. 

A  lineman  required  to  leave  his  own  dis- 
trict will  be  allowed  all  necessary  expenses 
and  extra  compensation  commensurate  with 
responsibility,  if  called  upon  to  take  charge 
of  any  number  of  men. 

District  linemen  will  be  allowed  all  neces- 
sary expenses  while  performing  duties  on 
their  own   district  away  from  headquarters. 

Linemen  competent  to  hold  other  telegra- 
phers' positions  will  be  considered  eligible 
for  same  and  will  be  allowed  to  transfer  to 
the  class  of  service  covering  such  position 
taking  three-tourths   of  their   seniority. 

Linemen  accepting  promotion  to  the  posi- 
tion of  telegraph  or  telephone  inspectors  will 
retain  their  seniority  standing  provided  they 
make  an  agreement  with  the  superintendent 
of  telegraph  and  local  chairman  with  the 
consent  of  the  men  affected,  to  that  effect. 

The  seniority  of  linemen  (except  as  pro- 
vided by  the  preceding  paragraph)  will  date 
from  the  time  of  their  last  appointment  as 
linemen. 

The  preamble  in  Clauses  b,  c,  d,  'e,  f,  and 
g  of  Article  II,  Articles  HI,  IV,  V,  VI,  VII, 
VIII,  XT,  XII,  XV,  XX,  XXII,  XXIV,  XXV, 
and  XXVI  in  the  schedule  of  Rules  and 
Wages  will  also  apply  to  linemen. 

ARTICLE  XXVIIL 
(Effective    October    1st,    1917.) 

(a)  The  term  assistant  agents  will  be 
deemed  to  include  any  employe  whose  duty 
it  is  to  assist  station  agents  with  clerical 
work,  whether  ordinarily  known  as  assistant 
agent,  cashier,  clerk,  checker  or  any  similar 
title,  but  not  including  employes  at  stations 
where  the  staff  consists  of  seven  or  more 
men  of  the  classes  covered  by  this  article, 
or  at  places  where  freight  work  exclusively 
is  performed  under  the  jurisdiction  of  an 
agent  other  than  the  station  agent.  Only 
the  positions  incorporated  in  the  accompany- 
ing schedule  of  wages  will  be  considered  as- 
sistant agents  within  the  meaning  of  this 
schedule. 

(b)  The  seniority  of  assistant  agents  will 
date  from  the  time  they  last  entered  the 
company's  service  as  such,  it  being  under- 
stood that  assistant  agents  temporarily  out 
of  employment  on  account  of  staff  reduction 
will  not  forfeit  their  seniority,  provided  they 
are  available  when  required.

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


(c)  Assistant  agents  competent  to  hold 
other  telegraphers'  positions  will  be  consid- 
ered eligible  for  same  and  will  be  allowed  to 
transfer  to  the  class  of  service  covering  such 
positions  without  carrying  their  seniority  as 
assistant   agents   with   them. 

(d)  The  advertising  and  filling  of  positions 
by  assistant  agents  will  be  governed  by  the 
provisions  of  Article  II,  except  that  the  right 
of  promotion  will  extend  over  each  superin- 
tendent's division  only. 

(e)  The  provision  as  regards  holidays  with 
pay  affecting  other  telegraphers,  as  per  Ar- 
ticle XXV,  will  also  apply  to  assistant  agents. 

(f)  Where  assistant  agents  are  now  kept 
on  duty  ten  hours  per  day  or  longer  it  is 
not  intended  that  their  hours  shall  be  ex- 
tended beyond  what  they  are  now  work- 
ing. 

(g)  The  preamble  and  Articles  III,  VI, 
VII,  VIII,  XI,  and  XXVI  in  the  schedule  of

RULINGS    AND    AGREEMENTS. 
Protection    of   Company's    Funds    Where    No 

Safes  Are   Provided. 

When  an  agent  is  on  duty  in  the  day  time, 
cash  should  be  carried  in  the  till.  If  it  is 
necessary  for  him  to  leave  the  office  unpro- 
tected, he  being  acquainted  with  local  con- 
ditions, knows  best  what  precautions  should 
be  taken,  and  will  use  his  own  judgment. 
If  he  considers  it  advisable  to  carry  the 
funds  in  his  pocket,  and  the  auditor  checks 
him  up  that  time,  it  will  be  assumed  that 
the  cash  in  his  pocket  equal  to  the  amount 
the  auditor's  check  shows  what  should  be 
in  the  till,  is  the  company's  cash. 

Transfer  of  Telegraphers  From  One  General 
District  to  Another  on  Account  of  Ill- 
ness. 
There  will  be  no  objection  to  such  transfer 
in  any  case  where  the  necessity  is  due  to 
climate  conditions  or  the  health  of  the  teleg- 
rapher or  his  family,  but  the  application 
must  be  made  ttjrough  the  superintendent, 
and  nuist  be  agreeable  to  general  superin- 
tendent of  the  district  he  is  leaving  and  the 
division  to  which  he  is  going.  Applicants 
must  also  have  an  agreement  with  the  gen- 
eral chairman  of  Eastern  or  Western  Lines, 
as  the  case  may  be,  before  transferring, 
otherwise  they  will  carry  no  seniority  with 
them.  Full  information  regarding  the  neces- 
sary requirements  will  be  given  by  your 
local  chairman  on  request.  Telegraphers 
transferring  under  these  conditions  will  be 
allowed  three-fourths  of  their  seniority  on 
district  to  which  transferring. 

Holiday  Pay  to  Telegraphers  Who  Have 
Resigned  or  Who   Have  Been   Dismissed. 

Telegraphers  under  these  conditions  will 
be  entitled  to  a  proportionate  amount  of 
their  holidays'  allowance,  based  on  the  por- 
tion of  the  year  worked  without  holidays, 
providing,  of  course,  that  it  is  not  evident 
that  they  had  been  contemplating  resigna- 
tion  when  making  application  for  holidays. 

Interpretation  Sunday  Overtime  ("F",  Art. 
XV)  as  Ruled  by  the  Vice-President  and 
General   Manager'  of  Western   Lines. 

If  a  telegrapher  is  called  to  come  on  duty 
once  in  the  forenoon  and  once  in  the  after- 
noon, ho  would  be  paid  for  straight  calls, 
.as  per  Article  XV,   Clauses   (a)   and   (b). 

General. 

The  management  have  assured  your  com- 
mittee that  t.'ie  rules  embodied  in  the  arti- 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


121 


cles    of    this    agreement    will    be    faithfully 
adhered  to  by  the  officers  of  the  company. 

It  is  impossible  to  draft  general  rules 
which  will  meet  all  circumstances,  or  to 
foresee  conditions  which  may  arise  in  the 
future,  therefore  telegraphers  are  enjoined 
to  be  reasonable  and  fair  in  their  judgment 
of  cases  not  clearly  covered  by  any  of  the 
rules  before  making  them  the  subject  of 
grievance. 


All  questions  in  dispute  must  first  be  re- 
ferred to  the  officer  of  the  company  having 
immediate  jurisdiction  by  the  telegrapher 
aggrieved.  If  reasonable  efforts  in  this  di- 
rection do  not  result  in  a  satisfactory  ad- 
jiistment  of  the  case,  he  may  then  file  a 
statement  giving  full  particulars  together 
with  all  correspondence  in  connection  with 
the  matter  with  his  local  chairman,  who 
will   give   it   prompt   attention.

Central  Vermont  Railway  Company 


(EFFECTIVE   OCTOBER    1,    1917.) 


The  following  rules  and  wages  will  govern 
telegraphers  on  the  Central  Vermont  Rail- 
way. 

W^hen  additional  telegraphers'  positions 
are  created  compensation  will  be  fixed  in 
conformity  with  that  for  positions  of  the 
same   class   as   shown  by  this   schedule. 

1.  All  employes  assigned  by  proper  author- 
ity to  railway  telegraph  or  telephone  service 
of  any  character  or  duration,  also  the  station 
agents  as  shown  in  the  attached  wage  scale, 
except  where  a  star  is  shown  opposite  the 
name  of  the  station,  will  be  considered  as 
telegraphers  within  the  meaning  of  this 
schedule  and  are  so  called  herein. 

Stations  where  agents  are  not  required  to 
do  telegraph  work  will  be  indicated  by  a 
star.  The  star  indication  will  not  be  under- 
stood as  depriving  the  agent  of  seniority 
rights. 

2.  (a)  The  promotion  of  telegraphers  shall 
extend   over  each   superintendent's   division, 


and  will  be  governed  by  merit  and  ability; 
where  ability  is  sufficient,  seniority  will  have 
the  preference,  the  superintendent  being  the 
judge. 

(b)  In  case  of  reduction  in  the  number  of 
telegraphers  employed  the  senior  telegra- 
phers on  their  respective  division  will  be 
retained  in  preference  to  telegraphers  junior 
to  them.  If  a  position  included  in  the  at- 
tached schedule  is  abolished,  the  telegrapher 
affected  will  be  entitled  to  the  position  held 
by  the  junior  permanently  located  telegra- 
pher  on    the    superintendent's    division. 

(c)  All  vacancies  and  permanent  appoint- 
ments will  be  immediately  bulletined  over 
the  superintendent's  district,  addressed  to 
telegraphers  and  telegraphers  shall  have  ten 
days  from  the  date  of  such  message  within 
which  to  file  application.  A  vacancy  will  be 
filled  If  practicable  within  twenty  days  from 
the  time  it  occurs  by  the  appointment  of 
the  man  entitled  to  it. 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


127 


(d)  Clerks  who  have  had  experience  in  sta- 
tion work  will  not  be  debarred  from  bidding 
on   positions   named  in   this   schedule. 

(e)  A  complete  list  of  all  tele^aphers  on 
each  superintendent's  division  showing  their 
seniority  standing-  will  be  kept  on  file  in  the 
respective  train  dispatching  offices  open  to 
the  inspection  of  all  telegraphers  concerned. 

(f>  Vacancies  in  train  dispatchers'  posi- 
tions Will  be  filled  by  telegraphers  in  the 
employ,  if  considered  competent,  any  teleg- 
grapher  so  promoted  will  retain  seniority 
standing  in  the  ranks  of  the  agents  and 
operators. 

(g>  When  vacancies  are  filled  in  an  emer- 
gency by  an  employe  who  is  not  a  telegraph 
operator  the  assignment  shall  be  considered 
a   temporary   arrangement. 

3.  If  an  employe  is  suspended  or  discharged 
for  reasons  which  he  may  consider  unjust, 
he  shall  have  the  right  to  appeal  to  his 
immediate  superior  officers  within  two 
weeks.  If  a  satisfactory  adjustment  is  not 
arrived  at  he  may  call  on  any  other  em- 
ploye named  in  Rule  1,  in  good  standing, 
or  a  committee  representing  the  employes 
named  in  Rule  1  to  represent  him.  If  he 
is  still  dissatisfied  with  the  result  he  may 
appeal  in  regular  order  to  the  highest  offi- 
cials of  the  company.  If  investigation  devel- 
ops that  the  employe  was  wrongfully  charged 
he  shall  receive  full  pay  for  time  lost. 

4.  Employes  who  are  transferred  from  one 
station  to  another  by  request  of  the  com- 
pany, will  be  furnished  free  transportation 
for  dependent  members  of  their  families  and 
household  goods,   if  lawful. 

5.  Employes  called  to  attend  court  on  the 
business  of  the  company  or  for  other  pur- 
poses for  which  they  are  authorized  by  prop- 
er authority  will  be  paid  their  regrular  wages. 
If  called  on  to  leave  their  homes,  necessary

fees  to  be  turned  over  to  the  company. 

6.  Telegraphers  performing  duty  at  wrecks

ular   wages    and    i-easonable    expenses. 

7.  (a)  Twelve  consecutive  hours  or  less, 
including  meal  hour,  shall  constitute  a  day's 
work.  The  hours  of  service  shall  be  ar- 
ranged  to   suit    the   requirements. 

(b)  At  offices  where  more  than  two  teleg- 
raphers are  employed,  nine  (9)  consecutive 
hours,  including  meal  hour,  shall  constitute 
a  day's  work,  or  at  the  company's  option, 
eight  (S)  consecutive  hours  without  a  meal 
shall    constitute    a    day's    work. 

fc)  Dispatchers  will  relieve  agents  and 
operators  foi-  not  less  than  thirty  minutes 
nor  more  than  one  hour  for  meals  between 
11:30  a.  m.  and  1:30  p.  m.  If  unable  to  do 
so  one  hour  overtime  will  be  allowed  and 
thirty  minutes  allowed  as  soon  as  possible 
thereafter.  This  rule  will  not  apply  to  those 
working  less  than  ten   (10)   hours  per  day. 

8.  (a)  A  telegrapher  required  to  remain  on 
duty  longer  than  the  number  of  hours  con- 
stituting a  day's  work  will  be  given  an 
official  order  and  be  excused  in  the  same 
manner,  and  will  be  allowed  overtime  as 
per   Clause    (b). 

(b)  Overtime  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of 
twenty-five    (25)   cents   per  hour. 

In  computing  overtime,  less  than  thirty 
minutes  will  not  be  counted;  thirty  minutes 
and  less  than  sixty  will  be  counted  as  one 
hour. 


(c)  If  a  telegrapher  is  called  before  or 
after  his  regular  hours  he  will  be  allowed 
fifty  cents  for  each  call  for  which  one  hour's 
service    shall,    if   necessary,    be    performed. 

When  .'i  telegrapher  is  required  to  attend 
a  regular  scheduled  train  due  at  his  station 
within  three  hours  after  his  regular  hours 
duty  he  will  receive  pay  at  the  rate  of 
twenty-five  (25)  cents  per  hour  or  fraction 
thereof. 

(d)  Overtime  will  not  be  allowed  unless 
overtinie  tickets  consecutively  numbered  are 
mailed  to  the  proper  official  within  forty- 
eight  hours  from  the  time  service  is  per- 
formed. If  overtime  is  not  allowed,  telegra- 
phers will  be  notified  within  ten  days  from 
the  time  service  was  performed  setting  forth

9  (a)  Telegraphers  at  twenty-four  (24)

Cincinnati,  O.,  July  19,  19.17. 
Mr.  L.  E.  Hicks,  General  Chairman,  O.  R. 
T.,  Craigsville,  Va. 
Dear  Sir: — This  letter  is  written  in  con- 
nection with  new  schedule,  which  is  effective 
July  1,  1917,  and  supersedes  all  previous 
memorandum    agreements. 

1.  Operators  will  not  be  required  to  call 
track  forces  or  train  crews  except  in  cases 
of  emergencies. 

2.  Dispatchers  will  be  relieved  of  unneces- 
sary clerical  work  and  in  no  case  will  they 
be  required  to  do  clerical  work  which  inter- 
feres  with    the   handling   of   trains. 

3.  In  selecting  agents  for  agencies  not  in 
the  wage  schedule,  agents  and  operators 
will,  merit  and  qualifications  being  equal, 
be  given  first  consideration  in  filling  such 
positions.  It  is  understood  that  in  filling 
these  vacancies  that  the  local  chairman  will 
be  consulted  before  the  appointments  are 
made. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  policy  of  the  company  to 
Issue  system  passes  to  wives  of  employes 
becoming  ten  years  in  service  between  Janu- 
ary 1st  and  June  30th.  Operators  becoming 
two  years  in  the  service  between  January  1st 
and  January  31st  will  receive  annual  system 
passes  for  that  year. 

Superintendents  will  be  authorized  to  issue 
telegraph  passes  in  cases  of  emergencies. 

The  present  policy  of  issuing  passes  to 
wives  of  operators  living  at  isolated  points 
will  be   conthiued. 

Passes  will  be  issued  to  operators  seeking 
employment  if  properly  vouched  for  by  our 
employes. 


Superintendents  are  authorized  to  grant 
freight  train  permits  to  employes  when 
necessary  to  attend  organization  meetings 
and  to  return  from  such  meetings;  aJso  to 
employes  going  to  and  from  their  work  of 
completion  of  their  Jobs,  or  on  Saturdays 
and   Sundays.

local  chairman  to  be  stamped  "Good  on 
Freight  Trains",  but  restricted  to  territory 
which  he  represents.  Pullman  annual  pass 
will  be  requested  for  the  general  chairman. 

5.  Where  an  operator  lives  at  an  isolated 
point,  his  family  supplies  will  be  handled 
free  in  baggage  cars  to  and  from  nearest 
point  where  same  can  be  secured. 

6.  It  is  not  the  disposition  of  the  railway 
company  to  displace  operators  by  having 
trainmen  or  other  employes  operate  the,  tele- 
phone for  the  handling  or  blocking  of  trains, 
except  in.  bona  fide  cases  of  emergencies. 
This  does  not  refer  to  the  operation  of 
branch  lines  where  train  crews  handle  their 
own  train  orders,  nor  to  telephones  hereto- 
fore used  for  clearing  their  trains  to  oper- 
ators, nor  to  the  telephones  at  Backbone 
and  Mud  Tunnel,  which  are  intended  for  the 
releasing  of  trains  in  case  of  signal  failures. 

Dispatchers  will  be  instructed  that  em- 
ployes other  than  telegraph  operators,  tele- 
phoners  and  signalmen  will  not  be  permitted 
to  use  the  dispatcher's  phone  except  upon 
authority  of  the  train  dispatcher,  and  the 
dispatchers  will  not  authorize  such  use  ex- 
cept in  bona  fide  cases  of  emergency. 

7.  Under  Article  II.  it  has  been  ruled  that 
where  a  position  has  been  closed  to  except 
sixty  days  it  will  be  considered  a  new  po- 
sition and  will  be  paid  the  average  of  that 
district. 

In  arriving  at  the  average  rate  for  each 
district,  exclusive  agents  listed  in  the  sched- 
ule will  be  considered  as  one  class,  agent 
and  operator  another  class,  and  operators 
still  another  class.  Operator  and  clerk  will 
be  considered  in  the  same  class  as  an  op- 
erator. 

In  arriving  at  the  average  salary  for  each 
district,  if  there  is  anything  under  fifty 
cents,  the  rate  will  go  back  to  the  lower 
dollar,  and  if  there  is  anything  fifty  cents 
or  over  the  rate  will  go  to  the  higher  dol- 
lar. 

S.  Agents  at  forwarding  points  will  be  al- 
lowed 10  per  cent  commission  for  handling 
milk. 

9.  If  a  telegrapher  completes  his  three 
or  ten  years  in  service  between  January  1st 
and  June  SOtl^of  any  year,  he  will  be  given 
his  leave  of  absence  for  that  year,  as  per 
Article    VII.,    Section    3.

It  is  ruled  that  exclusive  agents  who  are 
non-telegraphers  are  entitled  to  leave  of 
absence  as  per  Section  3  of  Article  VII.,  the 
.•^.-ame  as  telegraphers. 

Tours  truly, 
(Signed)     J.    P.    STEVENS.

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


Supplement  No.  1  to  Schedule  No.  7. 

Effective  January  1st,  1918,  the  rules  in 
the  schedule  referred  to  below  are  changed 
to  read  as  follows: 

ARTICLE  II   (d). 
Sunday   Hours  and    Holidays. 

So  far  as  business  will  permit,  telegra- 
phers will  be  excused  on  Sundays  and  holi- 
days without  reduction  of  pay.  Telegra- 
phers required  to  perform  any  service  on 
Sunday  will  be  allowed  extra  pay  pro  rata, 
with  minimum  of  one  hour,  for  all  Sunday 
work;  Sunday  hours  to  be  regularly  as- 
signed and  to  be  consecutive  and  within  the 
spread  of  the  week-day  assignment.  For  all 
work  on  Sunday,  outside  of  the  regularly  as- 
signed hours,  telegraphers  will  be  allowed 
overtime  as   per  overtime  rules. 

In  "GO"  Chicago,  "XN"  Danville,  "OW 
Salem,  and  "D"  Evansville,  telegraphers  re- 
quired to  perform  any  service  on  New 
Year's  Day,  July  4th,  Thanksgiving  and 
Christmas,  will  be  allowed  extra  pay  pro 
rata  with  a  minimum  of  one  hour  on  the 
same  basis  as  for  Sunday  work. 

The  rate  of  pay  for  Sunday  work  will  be 
the  monthly  rate  divided  by  26  days  as  the 
basis  for  a  day's  pay,  and  divided  by  the 
regularly  assigned  hours  to  make  the  rate 
per  hour.  The  same  basis  will  be  used  to 
apply  the  rate  for  holidays  in  "GO",  "XN", 
"OW",  and  "D".  To  establish  the  pay  and 
the  pro  rata  overtime  basis  for  week  days 
the  rate  per  month  will  be  divided  by  the 
actual  working  days  in  the  month,  exclu- 
sive of  Sundays. 

ARTICLE  III  (b). 

Overtime  will  be  compueted  pro  rata,  with 
minimum  of  50c  per  hour  in   "GO"  Chicago, 


"XN"    Danville,    "OW"    Salem,    "D"    Evans- 
ville, and  40c  per  hour  in  other  offices. 

ARTICLE  V   (a). 

A  telegrapher  required  to  meet  trains 
within  one  hour  after  the  expiration  of  his 
day  will  be  paid  40c  for  his  services,  re- 
maining on  duty  one  hour,  if  riccessary;  if 
longer  than  one  hour,  he  shall  be  allowed 
overtime   thereafter. 

ARTICLE  V    (b). 

Telegraphers  called  or  instructed  to  come 
on  duty  by  a  competent  authority,  outside 
of  regular  established  hours  (except  as  pro- 
vided for  in  this  artictle)  will  be  allowed 
65c  for  the  service  the  first  hour,  and  over- 
time thereafter. 


An  increase  of  $10.00  per  month  in  the 
rate  of  pay  for  each  position  covered  by  the 
Telegraphers'  Schedule  is  granted,  effective 
January    1st,    1918. 


ARTICLE  XX. 

Abrogation. 

It  is  agreed  that  the  rules  and  rate?  of 
pay  shall  continue  in  force  until  April  1st, 
1919,  and  thereafter  subject  to  thirty  days' 
written   notice  by  either  party  to  the  other. 

For  the   Telegraphers,

General    Chairman.

Chicago  &  North  Western  Railway  Company 


(MONTHLY  RATES  EFFECTIVE  DECEMBER  1,  191/.) 
(RULES  EFFECTIVE  JANUARY  1,  1918.) 


ARTICLE  I. 
Section  1.  This  schedule  will  govern  the 
employment  and  compensation  of  telegra- 
phers on  the  Chicago  &  North  Western  Rail- 
way and  subsidiary  lines  operated,  and  will 
supersede  all  previous  schedules,  agreements 
and  rulings  thereon. 

Definition    of    Term     Telegrapher. 

Sec.  2.  The  list  in  Article  XII,  showing 
locations,  occupations  and  rates  of  pay, 
designates  employes  covered  by  this  schedule 
who  will  be  considered  telegraphers  within 
the  meaning  of  these  rules.  ■ 

ARTICLE    II. 

Promotion. 

Section  1.  Telegraphers  will  be  regarded 
in  line  of  promotion,  advancement  depending 
upon  faithful  discharge  of  duty  and  capacity 
for  increased  responsibility.  Where  these 
are  sufficient,  seniority  will  have  the  prefer- 
ence, the  superintendent  to  be  the  judge, 
subject  to  appeal. 

Definition    of    Seniority. 

Seniority  will  date  from  time  of  last  entry 
in  service,  will  be  determined  by  the  time 
accepted  for  employment  by  the  employing 
officer,  be  effective  only  when  vacancies 
occur,  positions  are  abolished  or  new  posi- 
tions are  created,  and  be  confined  to  senior- 
ity districts.     (See  section  2  for  exceptions.) 

Reducing    Forces. 

In  reducing  forces,  other  things  being 
equal,  the  junior  telegraphers  will  be  dis- 
pensed  with,    first. 

Should  a  position  be  abolished  the  teleg- 
rapher displaced  shall  have  the  option,  if 
claim  is  made  within  ten  (10)  days,  of 
reverting  to  the  extra  list,  or,  if  seniority 
and  qualifications  are  sufficient,  of  displacing 
the  junior  telegrapher  on  the  division  or  the 
junior  telegrapher  holding  a  position  of  the 
same  class,  who  in  turn  may  reVert  to  the 
extra  list. 

Exception:  In  the  Chicago  Terminals  In- 
terlocking District  a  telegrapher  displaced, 
if  qualified  and  claim  is  made  within  ten 
(10)  days,  may  displace  any  junior  teleg- 
rapher, or  go  on  the  extra  list. 

Positions   Added   to  Schedule. 

Sec.  2.  When  an  existing  position  is  added 
to  this  schedule  the  incumbent  shall  take 
rank  on  the  telegraphers'  seniority  list  from 
the  date  of  last  entry  in  service. 

Leaving  Scheduled  Service. 
Telegraphers  assigned  to  service  not  cov- 
ered by  this  schedule  will  retain  their  sen- 
iority as  earned  to  the  date  of  such  assign- 
ment, so  long  as  they  remain  in  continuous 
service  of  the  company  in  tr^in  dispatching, 
telegraph  or  station  agent  service.  The  pro- 
visions of  this  paragraph  are  retroactive. 


"SJ"   and    "J". 

Telegraphers  in  "SJ"  and  "J"  offices  will 
retain  their  rank  on  the  seniority  lists  of  the 
divisions  from  which  they  were  promoted. 

Telegraphers  who  desire  positions  in  "SJ" 
or  "J"  offices  may  file  applications  with  the 
superintendent  of  telegraph;  if,  in  his  opin- 
ion, they  are  capable,  they  will  be  given 
preference  (in  the  order  shown  in  section  1) 
in  filling  these  positions.  Office  seniority  will 
prevail    in    "SJ"    and    ".J". 

Lake    St.    Tower. 
Office    seniority    will    prevail    in    Lake    St. 
Tovv'er,  but  will  not  apply  to  position  of  tele- 
phone   operator. 

Chicago    Terminals    Interlocking    District. 
Tlje    Chicago    Terminals    Interlocking   Dis- 
trict   shall    constitute   a    seniority    unit. 

Bulletins. 

Sec.  3.  Vacancies  will  be  bulletined  on  the 
first  and  sixteenth  of  each  month  and  copy 
sent  to  general  chairman.  Ten  (10>  days 
will  be  allowed  for  filing  applications,  which 
shall  be  made  in  duplicate,  the  duplicate  to 
be  returned  to  applicant  bearing  acknowl- 
edgment of  receipt.  Unless  the  application 
is  withdrawn  before  the  expiration  of  this 
time  an  employe  who  applies  and  is  assigned 
must  accept  the  position  or  go  on  the  extra 
list.  Each  bulletin  will  show  the  names  of 
successful  applicants  for  the  positions  listed 
in  the  previous  bulletin.  If  a  telegrapher  is 
not  promoted  according  to  seniority  the 
superintendent  will  notify  him  immediately 
after  the  ten  days  allowed  for  filing  appli- 
cations; receipt  of  such  notification  must  be 
acknowledged  promptly,  and  if  the  reason  is 
requested  it  will  be  given  in  writing.  Posi- 
tions vacated  for  sixty  days  or  less  will  not 
be  bulletined. 

Exception:  In  the  Chicago  Terminals  In- 
terlocking District  bulletins  will  be  issued 
on  the  first,  tenth  and  twentieth  of  each 
month.  Seven  (7)  days  will  be  allowed  for 
filing  applications,  after  which  .superintend- 
ent's notice  to  a  senior  applicant  not  as- 
signed will  be  given. 

Incapable.

Chicago,  January  1,  1918. 
Gentlemen: 

With  reference  to  telegraphers'  schedule 
rules  effective  January  1,  1918,  and  monthly 
rates  of  pay  effective  December  1,  1917: 

To  determine  whether  or  not  employes 
using  railroad  telephones  as  a  part  of  their 
assigned  duties  occupy  positions  which 
should  be  included  in  the  schedule,  it  is  un- 
derstood that  they  are  to  be  included  if  the 
employe  receives,  transmits  or  delivers  or- 
ders, blocks  trains  or  reports  the  arrival  or 
departure  of  trains  for  train   sheet  records.

"When  additional  levermens'  positions  are 
created  on  the  Wisconsin  or  Galena  division 
or  in  the  Passenger  Terminal,  Chicago, 
Avhere  all  levermens'  positions  are  now 
scheduled,  such  additional  positions  will  be 
included  in  the  schedule. 

Any  telegrapher  will  be  allowed  as  much 
time  to  procvire  any  meal,  up  to  an  hour, 
at  usual  meal  times,  as  the  reciuirements  of 
the  service  will  permit,  irrespective  of  length 
of  assigned  day's  work. 

Levermen  taking  positions  in  which  they 
require  coaching  or  instruction  to  acquire 
knowledge  of  local  conditions,  if  instructed 
by  persons  employed  in  other  positions  with- 
out additional  expense  to  the  company,  will 
be  paid  during  the  instruction  period  at  the 
rate  of  the  position  so  filled. 

Telegraphers  will  be  required  to  wear  full 
uniforms  only  at  stations  Chicago  to  Mil- 
waukee, Chicago  to  Harvard,  Chicago  to 
West  Chicago,  and  at  such  other  exclusive 
passenger  stations  where  the  duty  of  the 
telegrapher  does  not  require  that  he  handle 
freight  or  do  other  work  detrimental  to  vmi- 
forms.  Such  stations  and  positions  in  which 
full  uniforms   must  be  worn   are  as  follows:

are  not  station  agents  are  not  required,  as  a 
general  rule,  to  care  for  car  heaters;  but  this 
will  not  excuse  them  from  performing  this 
duty  in  case  of  emergency. 

Present  arrangements  regarding  compli- 
mentary annual  passes  according  to  length 
of  service  remain  unchanged. 

Under  Article  II,  Section  6,  and  Article 
VIII,  Section  2,  it  is  understood  that  in  no 
case  will  telegraphers  be  permitted  to  waive 
the  one  dollar  (.$1.00j  per  day  extra,  when 
entitled  to  this  extra  compensation. 

It  is  understood  that  Sunday  work  is  work 
begun  between  midnight  Saturday  and  mid- 
night Sunday. 

Example:  If  begun  at  11:59  p.  m.,  Satur- 
day, it  is  Saturday  work;  if  begun  at  12 
midnight.  Saturday  night,  or  any  time  to 
and  including  11:59  p.  m.  Sunday,  it  is  Sun-

construed   to   embrace   train   dispatchers. 


RULE   II.

sibility. Where  these  are  sufficient,  seniority

tion created,  telegraphers  will  be  notified  not

Schedules  and  Wage  ScaCes. 


Chicago/  Peoria  &  St.  Louis  Railroad  Company 

BLUFORD  WILSON  AND  WILLIAM  COTTER, 
Receivers 


Springfield,  111.,  Dec.  1,  1914. 

First,    Definition. 

All  employes  designated  in  the  wage  scale 
shall  be  considered  and  referred  to  as  teleg- 
raphers within  the  meaning  of  these  rules. 

Second,    Seniority   and    Promotion. 

(a.)  Telegraphers'  seniority  will  extend 
over  the  system  and  date  from  last  entrance 
into  the  service  and  can  be  asserted  only  in 
the  securing  of  advertised  positions  and 
reduction  of  force. 

(b;  Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  in  line 
of  promotion,  advancement  depending  upon 
faithful  discharge  of  duty  and  capacity  for 
increased  responsibility,-  and  where  these  are 
sufficient,  seniority  will  have  preference,  the 
superintendent  to  be  the  judge. 

(cj  A  telegrapher  declining  promotion  does 
not  forfeit  his  seniority. 

(d)  Telegraphers  accepting  permanent 
positions  not  covered  by  the  schedule  will 
retain  their  seniority  for  six  months  and 
can  only  re-enter  schedule  service  within 
that  period  by  applying  for  and  being  as- 
signed to  advertised  positions  to  which  their 
seniority   entitles   them. 

(e>  Telegraphers  accepting  temporary 
positions  not  covered  by  the  schedule  will 
retain  their  seniority  and  right  to  position 
vacated  for  six  months,  after  which  time 
they  forfeit  their  seniority  rights. 

(f>  Semi-annually  the  superintendent  will 
revise  seniority  list  as  of  January  1st  and 
July  1st  of  each  year,  and  furnish  copies 
thereof  to  the  telegraphers'  committee. 

Third,   Reduction  of   Force. 

(a)  When  a  position  is  abolished  or  force 
reduced,  the  telegrapher  so  affected  will 
have  the  right  to  displace  the  youngest 
regularly  assigned  telegrapher,  if  seniority 
will  permit. 

(h)  In  reducing  force  at  any  office,  the 
youngest  telegrapher  will  be  displaced  and 
the  lowest  rate  abolished.  If  position  is  re- 
instated, the  lowest  paid  position  as  shown 
on  the  wage  scale  at  that  office  will  be  con- 
sidered the  new  position. 

Fourth,  Vacancies  and  Transfers. 

(a)  When  vacancies  occur  or  new  posi- 
tions are  created  they  will  be  advertised  by 
circular  to  be  sent  to  all  offices  showing 
hours  of  service  and  if  commission,  the 
average  per  month  for  the  previous  year. 

(h)  Temporary  vacancies  or  new  positions 
of  over  thirty  days  and  not  to  exceed  six 
months'  duration  will  be  advertised  as  above 
and  filled  as  provided  in  2-B,  but  the  posi- 
tions vacated  by  such  appointees  to  tem- 
porary po.sitions  will  be  filled  by  the  most 
competent  telegraphers  on  the  extra  list 
without  -advertising. 

(c>  Tele-xaphers  desiring  a '  position  that 
has  been  advertised  must  make  application 
in  writing  before  the  expiration  of  ten  days 
from  date  of  circular  and  the  successful 
applicant   will   be  notified   and   the    position 


filled  within  twenty-five  days  from  date  of 
circular. 

(d;  A  telegrapher  making  application  for 
and  receiving  the  appointment  to  a  posi- 
tion must  accept  the  position  or  go  on  the 
extra  list,  but  he  may  withdraw  his  applica- 
tion before  the  expiration  of  the  time  speci- 
fied  in   the   circular. 

(e>  When  a  telegrapher  is  transferred,  and 
after  a  fair  trial,  is  found  not  qualified  for 
the  position,  he  will  be  placed  on  the  extra 
list,    but   will    retain   his    seniority. 

(f)  Telegraphers  will  not  be  required  or 
permitted  to  exchange  positions  except  in 
cases  of  emergencies,  and  then  for  not  to 
exceed  ten  days'  duration,  unless  handled  as 
provided  in  3,  or  3-B. 

(g>  Telegraphers  transferred  by  order  of 
the  company  will  be  furnished  free  trans- 
portation for  themselves,  dependents  and 
personal  effects  and  shall  suffer  no  loss  of 
pay. 

(h)  Telegraphers  transferred  to  accept  ad- 
vertised positions  will  be  furnished  free 
transportation  for  themselves,  dependents 
and  personal  effects  and  shall  receive'  pay 
after  the  first  day  at  new  position,  which 
shall  be  the  succeeding  day  after  having 
been  checked  out  of  former  position,  unless 
granted  leave  of  absence,  in  which  case  5-C 
will  govern. 

Fifth,    Leaves  of  Absence. 

(a)  Telegraphers,  when  practicable,  will  be 
granted  leave  of  absence,  but  in  no  case  to 
exceed  ninety  consecutive  days,  except  in 
cases  of  sickness  or  disability.  Only  one 
ninety- day  leave  of  absence  will  be  granted 
in  any  one  year  and  two  such  leaves  of  ab- 
sence shall  not  form  a  continuity,  that  is: 
one  shall  not  commence  at  the  date  t.he  other 
terminates. 

(b>  Telegraphers  on  vacation  must  keep 
the  proper  official  advised  of  their  where- 
abouts and  in  cases  of  necessity  may  be 
recalled    to   the   service. 

(c)  Telegraphers  on  leaves  of  absence  de- 
siring to  return  to  the  service  will  notify 
the  proper  official,  and  shall  receive  the  reg- 
ular compensation  of  the  position  if  not 
checked  in  within  five  days  from  date  of 
such  notice. 

(d)  Representatives  of  the  telegraphers 
acting  in  such  capacities  will  be  granted 
necessary  leaves  of  absence. 

Sixth,    Hours   of   Service. 

(a)  Where  an  office  is  operated  not  ex- 
ceeding thii'teen  hours  within  twenty-four 
hours,  ten  houi-s,  excluding  meal  hours,  will 
constitute  a  day's  work,  which  shall  com- 
mence between  the  hours  of  6:00  and  8:00 
a.  m.  or  6:00  and  8:00  p.  m.,  and  not  extend 
beyond  a  period  of  thirteen  consecutive 
hours,  except  at  Sudduth  Tower,  where 
twelve  consecutive  hours  will  constitute  a 
day's  work. 

(h)  \^^^e^e  an  office  is  operated  as  a  train 
order  office  in  excess  of  thirteen  hours  per 
day,   eight  consecutive  hours  will  constitute

and  at  stations  where  two  or  more  telegra- 
phers are  employed  and  the  agent  works  one

more  than  nine  hours  per  day  will  be  al- 
lowed not  less  than  one  full  hour  between

one  hour's  overtime  as  per  7-A. 

(d)  No  time  will  be  allowed  for  meals  on 
tricks  of  nine  hours  or  less  unless  it  is  con- 
venient to  do  so. 

(e)  Telegraphers  shall  be  excused  from 
Sunday  and  holiday  duties  as  much  as  the 
conditions  of  business  will  permit  and  with- 
out reduction  of  pay. 

Seventh,  Overtime. 

(a)  Telegraphers  held  for  duty  beyond 
their  regular  hours  will  be  paid  overtime 
pro-rata  on  stated  salary  with  a  minimum 
rate  of  thirty  cents  per  hour. 

(b)  Telegraphers  called  for  duty  or  di- 
rected to  return  to  duty  outside  of  their

ough   investigation.      If    after    investigation

present  during  the  hearing,  present  his  case 
and  offer  testimony  and  may  be  accom- 
panied by  a  disinterested  employe  of  the 
same  rank.

D.   C.  FREDERICK, 
Superintendent  Transportation. 
Revised  July  30.  1917. 


The  Cincinnati,  Indianapolis  &  Western  Railroad  Company 


(EFFECTIVE    JUNE    1,    1917.) 


The  following  regulations  and  rates  of  pay 
for  telegraphers  will  apply  on  the  Cincinnati, 
Indianapolis  &  Western  Railroad  Company 
system,  commencing  June  1,  1917,  and  will 
not  be  changed  without  thirty  days'  writ- 
ten notice. 

ARTICLE  I. 
Telegraphers. 

(a)  Under  the  caption  "Telegraphers"  are 
included  all  employes  required  to  perform 
telegraph  service  of  any  character  or  dura- 
tion, except  train  dispatchers,  also  such  ex- 
clusive agents,  and  other  employes  as  are 
shown  in  the  wage  scale. 

(b)  In  ease  the  telephone  is  substituted  for 
the  telegraph,  telegraphers  will  be  entitled 
to  promotion  to  positions  of  telephone  oper- 
ators, and  will  be  considered  telegraphers 
within  the  meaning  of  this  agreement,  and 
the  rates  of  pay  and  regulations  shall  be 
the  same  as  those  specified  for  telegraphers 
herein. 

(c)  At  offices  thus  affected,  the  incumbent 
thereof  will  succeed  to  the  position  of  tele- 
phone   operator,    but    when    new   offices    are 


created  they  will  be  filled  in  accordance  with 
Article  III  of  this  agreement. 

(d)  When  the  use  of  the  telegraph  or  tele- 
phone instruments  are  discontinued  at  any 
office  the  office  shall  continue  to  be  con- 
sidered as  a  scheduled  office.  If  the  changed 
conditions  justify  a  readjustment  in  pay, 
compensation  will  be  fixed  upon  the  basis 
of  wages  paid  at  similar  offices. 

ARTICLE   II. 
[^Iscipline. 

(a)  Telegraphers  will  not  be  disciplined 
without  a  hearing  nor  held  off  longer  than 
five  days  without  a  decision  being  rendered. 
When  required  to  report  for  hearing  reason- 
able notice  shall  be  given  in  order  that  wit- 
nesses may  be  produced,  and,  if  desired  they 
may  be  accompanied  by  their  local  chair- 
inan  or  an  advisory  co-employe. 

(b)  When  a  telegrapher  is  disciplined,  he 
will  be  furnished  with  a  written  statement, 
upon  request,  showing  the  charges  against 
him,  and  if  his  fellow  telegraphers  regard 
the   discipline   as   unmerited,    they   may,    by

Schedules  and  Wage  Scaues. 


committee  take  the  matter  up  with  the 
superintendent. 

(c)  Committeemen  agree  to  take  up  no 
case  until  they  have  made  an  investigation 
and  believe  an  injustice  has  been  done. 

(d;  Appeal  may  be  made  to  higher  offi- 
cers in  regular  order. 

(e>  Should  it  occur  that  after  reconsidera- 
tion a  telegrapher  is  found  not  at  fault  in 
the  case,  he  will  be  reinstated  and  paid  the 
amount  he  would,  have  earned  during  his 
term  of  suspension  or  discharge.

(other  than  short  vacations j  shall  be  given  in 
any  consecutive  period  of  two  years.  Local

decline  promotion,  do  not  thereby  waive 
their  seniority  rights  as  far  as  future' va- 
cancies are  concerned.

rapher is  found  incompetent  to  perform  the 
duties  at  an  office  to  which  he  was  assigned

(EFFECTIVE    DECEMBER    1,    1916.) 


ARTICLE  I. 

^Effective  December  1,  1916,  all  telegraph 
operators,  telephone  operators,  also  station 
agents  and  levermen  specified  in  this  sched- 
ule will  be  considered  "telegraphers"  within 
th  meaning  of  these  articles,  irrespective  of 
the  title  by  which  designated  or  the  char- 
acter of  service  performed,  and  will  be  gov- 
erned  by   the   regulations    and    paid    at   the 


rate  specified  herein.  When  new  positions 
are  created,  the  provisions  of  this  agreement 
will  apply  and  the  wages  will  be  fixed  to 
conform  to  positions  of  similar  class. 

ARTICLE  II. 

(a)  Telegraphers  will  be  considered  in  line 
of  promotion,  other  things  being  equal,  and 
the  telegraphers  whose  positions  are  covered 


252 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


by  this  schedule  and  who  have  served  the 
longest,  will  have  preference  of  positions  in 
the  schedule  on  the  division  where  employed, 
and  their  seniority  will  date  from  their  last 
entrance  to  the  service  as  either  station 
agent,  telegrapher,  telephoner  or  leverman, 
and  will  be  effective  when  vacancies  occur 
or  new  positions  are  created. 

(b)  In  general  and  relay  ofHces,  vacancies 
will  be  filled  by  advancing  the  regular  teleg- 
raphers according  to  their  office  seniority, 
and  the  last  trick  will  be  bulletined  on  all 
divisions. 

(c)  The  right  to  promotion  will  be  gov- 
erned by  ability  and  seniority;  the  telegra- 
pher longest  in  the  service  as  specified  in 
paragraph  (a)  of  this  article  will  be  entitled 
to  first  choice  of  vacancies  or  new  positions, 
provided  they  are   capable. 

(d;  In  the  event  of  a  reduction  of  force 
in  positions  covered  by  this  schedule,  the 
incumbents  of  the  positions  abolished  will 
have  the  right  to  any  position  covered  by 
this  schedule  on  the  division  where  employed 
which  they  are  competent  to  fill,  and  the 
incumbents  thereof  are  their  juniors  in  the 
service,  provided,  in  doing  so,  they  will  not 
displace  any  telegrapher  who  has  more  than 
five  years'  seniority.  In  the  event  there  are 
no  telegraphers  in  the  service  with  less  than 
five  years'  seniority,  the  youngest  telegra- 
pher maj'  be  displaced. 

(e)  In  the  event  of  a  reduction  of  force  in 
general  and  relay  offices,  as  shown  in  the 
wage  scale,  telegraphers  so  displaced  may 
assert  their  seniority  on  the  division  from 
which  they  came  in  accordance  with  para- 
graph (c)  of  this  article  and  remaining  teleg- 
raphers will  be  set  back  in  accordance  with 
their  office  seniority  in  reverse  of  the  order 
promoted.  The  general  and  relay  offices  in- 
cluded in  this  schedule  are  ,*'AB"  Indian- 
apolis  and    "PD"    Cincinnati. 

(f)  Telegraphers  who  are  laid  off  on  ac- 
count of  reduction  of  force,  if  qualifying,  will 
have  preference,  according  to  seniority,  on 
the  divi.cions  where  employed,  and  will  be 
givf-n  employment  on  other  divisions  in  pref- 
erence to  telegraphers  not  in   the  service. 

(g)  Telegraphers  bidding  into  general  and 
relay  offices,  or  telegraphers  who  hpve  here- 
tofore bid  into  such  offices,  shall  retain  their 
division  seniority  on  the  division  from  which 
they  came,  and  may  assert  same  on  any 
vacancy  that  may  occur  on   said   division. 

(h)  Telegraphers  who  have  become  dis- 
qualified in  general  and  relay  offices  and  who 
have  no  division  seniority,  shall  go  on  the 
extra  list  without  seniority  on  the  div^ion 
of  their  choice.  If  they  are  so  disqualified 
and  have  division  seniority,  they  may  assert 
such  seniority  only  on  the  division  from 
which  they  came,  and  only  on  vacancies 
that  may  occur  or  by  displacing  the  young- 
est regular  assigned  telegrapher. 

ARTICLE  III. 
Vacancies  and  new  po«:itions  will  be  bul- 
letined promptly  to  all  offices  on  the  division, 
and  eligible  telegraphers  will  be  given  ten 
days  in  which  to  apply  for  same.  Such 
positions  must  be  filled  within  thirty  days. 
If  for  any  reason  the  assigned  applicant  is 
not  placed  in  his  chosen  position  within 
thirty  days  from  date  of  bulletin,  he  shall 
be  paid,  after  thirty  days,  at  the  rate  of 
position  chosen  instead  of  his  previous  rate, 


unless  the  latter  is  higher  than  the  rate  of 
position  chosen.  Telegraphers  declining  pro- 
motion will  not  lose  seniority.  The  chief 
dispatcher  will  notify  the  local  chairman  the 
name  of  each  applicant  and  those  assigned 
to  vacancies.  New  positions  of  less  than 
sixty  days'  duration  will  be  considered  tem- 
porary, and  will  be  filled  by  extra  men  if 
such   are  available  and   competent. 

ARTICLE  rV. 

A  correct  seniority  list  of  telegraphers 
eligible  to  positions  covered  by  this  schedule 
will  be  furnished  by  the  chief  dispatcher  to 
the  general  and  local  chairman  during  the 
last  week  of  January  and  July  of  each  year. 
A  telegrapher  may  obtain  his  seniority 
standing  upon  application  to  the  chief  dis- 
patcher. 

ARTICLE  V.

tween 6.00  and  8:00  a.  m.  or  between  6:00 
and  8:00  p.  m.,  will  constitute  a  day's  work. 

(h)  "Where  two  or  more  telegraphers  are 
employed,  eight  consecutive  hours  will  con- 
stitute a  day's  work.  Twelve  consecutive 
hours  will  constitute  a  day's  work  for  agents 
whose  duties  do  not  of  necessity  include 
telegraphing  or  telephoning.  The  exception 
to  this  will  be  leverman  as  shown  -in  the 
schedule  of  wages. 

ARTICLE  VI. 
No  time  will  be  allowed  for  meals  on  tricks 
of  eight  hours  or  less,  unless  it  is  convenient 
to  do  so.  Telegraphers  working  tricks  longer 
than  eight  hours  will  be  allowed  one  hour 
for  meals,  between  11:30  and  1:30  day  or 
night,  each  day.  When  they  cannot  be 
excused  between  these  hours,  they  will  be 
paid  thirty-five  cents  and  allowed  one  hour 
for  meals  as  soon  thereafter  as  practicable. 

ARTICLE  VII. 
Telegraphers  will  be  paid  overtime  pro 
rata,  but  not  less  than  thirty-five  cents  per 
hour  for  all  time  worked  outside  of  regrular 
hours.  If  called  back  to  the  office  after 
being  relieved  from  duty,  an  allowance  of 
fifty  cents  will  be  made,  and  if  kept  on  duty 
more  than  one  hour,  overtime  will  be  paid 
pro  rata,  but  not  less  than  thirty-five  cents 
pfr  hour.  Telegraphers  in  general  and  relay 
offices  will  be  paid  overtime  at  the  rate  of

duty  to  meet  trains  after  the  expiration  of 
their  regular  assigned  hours,  will  receive 
overtime  pro  rata,  but  not  less  than  thirty- 
five  cents  for  each  hour  so  held. 

(h)  Telegraphers  required  to  meet  trains 
after  being  relieved  will  receive  fifty  cents 
for  such  service  and  regular  overtime  after 
the  first  hour. 

ARTICLE  IX. 
In  computing  overtime,  actual  time  worked 
will  be  counted.  Overtime  must  be  reported 
in  writing  to  the  proper  official  within  forty- 
eight  hours  from  time  made,  and  if,  for  any

be  made,  if  practicable,  without  loss  of  time 
to  the  telegrapher,  who  may  be  accompanied 
thereat  by  another  employe  in  the  service 
of  the  company  and  of  his  own  selection. 
Any  telegrapher  feeling  aggrieved  may  be 
represented  by  a  committee  of  his  own  selec- 
tion, the  members  of  which  must  be  employes 
of  this  company.  The  result  of  the  investi- 
gation will  be  announced  within  seven  days 
after  completion.

tion of  the  company,  regular  wages  will  be

transferred  to  positions  paying  lower  rates 
than  their  regular  assignments,  they  will  be 
paid  at  their  regular  rates.  If  transferred

be  paid  at  the  higher  rates. 

(b)  When  regularly  assigned  telegraphers 
are  transferred  from  their  regular  positions 
to  work  extra,  they  will  be  paid  one  dollar

pay,  computed  until  they  return  to  their 
regular  positions  or  are  relieved.

months  unless  the  applicant  has  been  active- 
ly employed  in  his  regular  position  for  thirty

patchers  excepted. 

ARTICLE   II. 

Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  in  line  of

ment, seniority  will  have  preference  and

service,  and  will  extend  only  over  each 
superintendent's  territory. 

For  the  purpose  of  this  article,  on  the 
Denver  &  Interurban  Railroad  between

When  force  is  reduced  the  last  man  to  en- 
ter the  service  will  be  the  first  laid  off; 
and  in  the  event  of  reinstating  the  position 
the  oldest  available  man  will  be  given  pref- 
erence subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  first 
paragraph  of  this  article.

Employes  claiming  positions  under  the 
above  rule  must  make  their  choice  within 
fifteen  days  from  the  date  of  reporting  for 
duty.  (The  above  rule  applies  only  to  such

tunity of  making  application  for  the  posi- 
tion  desired.)

man  entitled  under  the  first  in  first  out 
will  be  sent  to  take  the  position  the  fol-

turn  to  fill  the  vacancy  on  relief  goes  to  the 
foot    of    the    extra    board. 

ARTICLE  XVII.

tified of  the  same  and  employes  will  be  fur- 
nished an  abstract  of  their  record  on  re- 
quest. 

Employes  will  not  be  suspended  or  dis- 
charged except  in  serious  cases  where  fault 
is  apparent  beyond  reasonable  doubt,  until 
they  have  a  hearing  before  the  proper  of- 
ficials and  during  such  hearing  they  may 
be  assisted  by  fellow  employes  of  their 
choice. 

When  decision  is  rendered,  if  such  em- 
ploye believes  it  to  be  unjust  his  case 
may  be  taken  on  appeal  to  the  highest  au- 
thority, and  if  found  innocent,  he  shall  be 
paid  for  the  time  lost. 

Hearings  and  decisions  will  be  given  with 
as  little  delay  as  possible.  Appeals  must  be 
made   in   writing   within   thirty   days.

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


7.  The  rates  of  pay  named  herein  include 
such  privileges  as  free  occupancy  of  certain 
assigned  buildings  located  upon  the  com- 
pany's ground,  together  with  fuel,  light,  ice 
and  water  used  therein. 

8.  Telegraphers,  while  on  duty,  will  assist 
in  station  work  to  the  extent  that  such 
work  will  not  interfere  with  their  telegraphic 
duties. 

9.  Telegraphers  required  to  operate  gaso- 
line pumps  will  receive  $10.00  per  month  for 
such  service.  At  offices  where  more  than 
twelve  cells  of  local  batteries  are  in  use  the 
linemen  will  be  required  to  clean  them. 

10.  Regular  telegr#hers  taken  from  their 
assigned  service  to  perform  duty  at  wrecks, 
washouts,  snow  blockades  and  similar  serv- 
ice away'  from  their  designated  offices  will 
be  paid  their  regular  salary  and  overtime 
after  the  number  of  hours  of  their  assign- 
ment, but  with  a  minimum  of  $3.50  per  day 
for  ten  hours'  service  or  less;  extra  telegra- 
phers, when  used  in  such  service,  will  re- 
ceive $3.00  per  day  for  ten  hours'  service 
or  less;  time  to  be  computed  from  time  they 
leave  until  their  return,  deducting  time  re- 
lieved from  duty. 

Regularly  assigned  telegraphers  will  not  be 
required  to  perform  relief  work  except  in 
case  of  emergency  and  when  such  work  is 
required,  shall  receive  the  higher  pay  of  the 
two  positions  and  will  be"  allowed  one  dollar 
($1.00)  per  day  for  expenses  while  away  from 
their  regular  assigned  stations. 

11.  "When  a  telegrapher  is  transferred  by 
order  of  the  company,  or  to  accept  bulletined 
position,  he  will  be  given  free  transportation 
for  himself,  dependent  members  of  his  fam- 
ily, household  and  personal  effects  not  ex- 
ceeding one  carload,  and  will  be  allowed  the 
rate  of  pay  which  governs  the  position  he  is 
leaving  while  enroute  and  making  such 
transfer. 

12.  At  stations  where  household  supplies 
cannot  be  procured,  free  freight  rate  will  be 
granted  telegraphers  on  such  supplies  as  pro- 
vided in  published  tariffs. 

13.  Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  as  in  line 
of  promotion  dependent  upon  the  faithful 
performance  of  their  duties  and  fitness  for 
increased  responsibility,  and  where  these  are 
sufficient  in  the  judgment  of  the  officers, 
seniority  will  have  preference.  Telegraphers 
transferred  at  their  request  and  proving  in- 
capable of  holding  such  position  will,  if  re- 
tained in  the  service,  be  placed  on  extra  list 
with  no  change  in  their  seniority  rights. 

Telegraphers  assigned  to  other  duties  shall 
not  lose  their  rights  to  position  vacated  for  a 
period  of  six  months.  "When  returned  to  tele- 
graph service  after  that  time,  they  shall  be 
placed  on  extra  list,  on  division  from  which 
taken,  retaining  their  seniority  rights,  which 
must  be  claimed  within  thirty  days  from 
time   of  reduction. 

14.  Seniority  rights  on  the  Colorado  lines 
will  extend  over  each  superintendent's  terri- 
tory; on  the  Utah  lines,  over  the  entire  line. 
"Vacancies  in  Grand  Junction  "JN"  and  Sa- 
lida  "S"  will  be  open  to  telegraphers  on  both 
the  second  and  third  divisions.  Seniority 
list  of  telegraphers  will  be  furnished  by  the 
superintendent  to  each  station  on  his  divi- 
sion in  the  month  of  January  each  year. 


Telegraphers  may  exchange  positions  and 
seniority  between  divisions  with  consent  of 
the  superintendents,  exchange  to  be  made 
without  cost  to  the  company. 

15.  When  a  permanent  vacancy  occurs  or  a 
new  telegraphic  position  is  created,  in  order 
that  eligible  employes  may  apply  for  same, 
a  bulletin  will  be  issued  within  ten  days 
from  date  of  vacancy.  The  position  will  be 
held  open  ten  days  and  appointment  will  be 
made  within  thirty  days  from  date  of  bulle- 
tin. 

.  Temporary  positions  opened  for  thirty  days 
or  more  of  service  will  be  bulletined  as  such, 
stating  probable  length  of  time  to  be  open. 
Telegraphers,  holding  regular  positions,  may 
bid  on  temporary  positions  but  must  return 
to  their  regular  position  when  the  temporary 
position  is  closed. 

Either  a  vacancy  must  exist  or  there  must 
be  a  material  change  in  a  position  before  a 
telegrapher   can   displace  a   junior  one. 

16.  Temporary  vacancies  of  thirty  days  or 
more  will  be  filled  by  the  senior  extra  teleg- 
raphers when  available.  In  event  of  such 
vacancies  at  offices  where  two  or  more  teleg- 
raphers are  employed,  regular  men  may  ex- 
ercise their  seniority  over  extra  men  during 
such  temporary  vacancies.  There  must  be 
no  violation  of  the  hours  of  service  law  in 
making  such  changes. 

Extra  telegraphers  who  have  performed 
initial  service,  traveling  at  the  instance  of 
the  company,  will  receive  thirty-five  cents 
per  hour  for  necessary  time  consumed  in 
deadheading  with  a  minimum  of  six  hours 
for  each  movement  and  a  maximum  of  not 
more  than  one  day's  pay  of  the  telegrapher 
relieved. 

17.  In  filling  the  position  of  agent  at  the 
following  stations,  telegraphers  will  be  ad- 
vised and  their  applications  given  considera- 
tion: Canon  City,  Minnequa,  "Walsenburg, 
"Trinidad,  Salida,  Minturn,  Glenwood  Springs, 
Montrose,  Alaniosa,  Price,  Helper,  Provo, 
Midvale  and  Hiawatha,  provided,  however, 
that  this  rule  will  not  be  applicable  beyond 
each  assistant  general  manager's  jurisdic- 
tion. 

18.  A  telegrapher  leaving  the  service  of  the 
company  will,  at  his  request,  be  given  a  serv- 
ice letter  from  the  proper  officer  stating 
term  of  service,  capacity  in  which  employed 
and  whether  discharged  or  leaving  of  his 
own  accord.  If  discharged,  cause  of  dismis- 
sal will   be  stated. 

19.  Telegraphers  required  by  proper  au- 
thority to  be  absent  from  duty  on  company 
business  will  be  paid  their  regular  salary, 
and  if  away  from  home,  allowed  necessary 
expenses,  not  to  exceed  three  dollars  per 
day. 

20.  No  employe  other  than  covered  by  this 
schedule  and  train  dispatchers  will  be  per- 
mitted to  handle  train  orders  at  telegraph 
or  telephone  offices  where  an  operator  is 
employed,  can  be  promptly  located  and  is 
available. 

21.  The  general  telegraph  offices  at  "DC" 
Denver  and  "UN"  Salt  Lake  City  will  be 
open  to  telegraphers  of  all  divisions,  subject 
to  approval  of  superintendent  telegraph;  va- 
cancies to  be  bulletined  as  provided  in  Ar- 
ticle XV.

ARTICLE   II. 

The  right  of  promotion  of  telegraphers 
will  extend  over  entire  line,  and  will  be

their  last  appointment  as  such,  and  will 
only  be  effective  when  vacancies  occur  or 
new  positions  are  created. 

When  vacancies  occur,  or  new  positions 
are  created,  they  will  be  advertised  over 
entire  line,  and  application  for  same  must 
be  made  within  five  days,  and  appointment 
will  be  made  within  the  next  ten  days.  Ac- 
knowledgment will  be  made  of  all  applica- 
tions. A  telegrapher  declining  to  accept 
promotion  or  withdrawing  his  application 
on  an  advertised  position  in  any  instance, 
does  not  forfeit  his  rights  to  the  same  or 
any  other  position  when  a  vacancy  occurs. 
A  list  of  all  telegraphers  will  be  furnished 
the  chairman  of  the  telegrapher's  commit- 
tee in  January  of  each  year.  The  same  to 
be  subject  to  correction  on  proper  repre- 
sentation from  any  telegrapher  at  any  time. 
When  a  telegrapher's  position  Is  abolished, 
the  telegrapher  thereby  displaced  will  be 
entitled,  at  his  option,  either  to  the  posi- 
tion held  by  the  last  permanently  located 
telegrapher,    his   seniority  permitting,    or   of 


going   on    extra  list,    but  in   either   case   he 
shall  retain  his  seniority  rights.

■  telegrapher  may  be  accompanied  by  another 
telegrapher  In  the  service  of  the  company  of 
his  own  selection  at  the  investigation.  If, 
after  investigation,  he  is  found  not  at  fault, 
he  shall  be  reinstated  and  paid  for  time 
lost.  The  result  of  investigation  will  be  an- 
nounced within  seven  days  after  completion.

general  manager.  In  case  a  telegrapher  has 
been  disciplined  or  discharged  and  after  in- 
vestigation is  found  not  to  be  at  fault,  he

work  for  all  other  telegraphers.  Dispatchers

tion does  not  forfeit  his  rights  to  it  or  to 
any  other  position  when  a  vacancy  occurs.

superintendent,  general  superintendent,  and 
general  manager,  in  the  order  named.

di.scharged,  and  after  investigation  is  found 
not  at  fault,  he  will  be  reinstated  and  paid 
for  time  lost— such  investigation  to  be  held

will  extend  over  each  superintendent's  divi- 
sion. To  obtain  promotion,  faithful,  intelli- 
gent and  courteous  discharge  of  duty  and  ca-

8.  When  telegraphers  are  transferred  and, 
after  a  fair  trial,  are  found  incompetent, 
they  will  be  placed  on  the  extra  list,  but

9.  A  telegrapher  declining  to  accept  promo- 
tion does  not  forfeit  his  seniority  rights.

Erie  Railroad  Company 


EFFECTIVE    OCTOBER    1,    1917. 


In  settlement  of  matters  in  controversy 
between  the  Erie  Railroad  Company  and  the 
New  Jersey  &  New  York  Railroad  Com- 
pany, and  their  employes  designated  in  Ar- 
ticle I  of  this  agreement,  and  the  attached 
wage  scale,  which  have  been  submitted  to 
mediation,  the  following  agreement  has  been 
reached  between  the  above-named  com- 
panies and  the  committee  representing  their 
above-described   employes. 

ARTICLE    I. 

Effective  October  1,  1917,  the  following 
rules  will  govern  the  service  of  employes 
required  to  perform  the  duties  of  a  teleg- 
rapher (whether  termed  agent,  assistant 
agent,  or  clerk)  and  telephone  operators 
connected  with  the  movement  of  trains;  also 
such  exclusive  agents  and  others  whose  posi- 
tions are  included  in  the  wage  scale. 

ARTICLE   IL 

When  new  positions  are  created,  the  com- 
pensation therefor  will  be  fixed  in  conform- 
ity with   that  paid   for  similar  positions. 

In  the  event  that  telephoners  are  substi- 
tuted for  telegraphers  as  specified  in  this 
agreement,  the  same  rules  and  compensation 
will  apply   to   them. 

ARTICLE   nL 
Employes    suspended    or    dismissed    may 

refer  their  case  by  written  statement  to  the 
superintendent;  within  ten  days,  if  possible, 
after  the  receipt  of  said  statement,  the  case 
will  have  a  thorough  investigation  and  a 
decision  will  be  given.  Employes  involved 
are  allowed  to  choose  one  or  more  employes 
in  their  class  of  service  in  good  standing 
to  represent  them  at  the  investigation,  and 
may  be  present  and  hear  all  the  evidence  In 
the  case.  When  the  result  of  the  investi- 
gation is  unsatisfactory,  and  the  facts  jus- 
tify, the  right  to  appeal  is  conceded.  WTien 
found  blameless,  the  employes  shall  be  re- 
instated and  receive  full  pay  for  the  time 
lost. 

ARTICLE  IV. 
All  employes  are  in  line  for  promotion,  ad- 
vancement depending  upon  faithful  discharge 


of  duties  and  capacity  for  increased  respon- 
sibility. Where  ability  and  conduct  permit, 
seniority  rules  will  govern.  Seniority  will 
date  from  the  last  date  of  entering  the  serv- 
ice of  the  company. 

ARTICLE   V. 

When  vacancies  occur  or  new  positions 
are  created  they  will  be  promptly  advertised 
by  "23"  message,  rates  of  pay  and  hours  of 
service  being  specified  in  the  advertisement. 
"VSTien  it  is  impractical  to  send  these  no- 
tices by  wire,  they  will  be  sent  by  train 
mail.  It  will  be  the  practice  to  fill  such 
vacancies  by  the  promotion  of  employes  in 
the  telegraph  and  telephone  service  when 
the  qualifications  of  such  employes  will  per- 
mit. This  rule  will  apply  to  copiers  and 
telegraphers    in    superintendent's   office. 

Employes  are  always  at  liberty  to  apply 
for  any  position  in  the  service  for  which 
they  consider  themselves  qualified  and  their 
applications  will  be  given  due  consideration 
when  vacancies  occur.  The  right  to  reject 
any  applicant  who  may  be  considered  un- 
suited  for  the  position  in  question  is  re- 
served. 

Positions  known  to  be  temporarily  vacant 
thirty  days  or  more,  or  that  will  remain 
vacant  for  an  indefinite  period  after  thirty 
days'  temporary  vacancy,  shall  be  given  to 
the  oldest  eligible  and  qualified  applicant  for 
same,  provided  such  temporary  assignment 
can  be  made  without  Impairing  the  service. 
No  pay  for  deadheading  will  be  allowed  in 
filling    such    temporary    vacancies. 

A  statement  showing  location,  position, 
rates  of  pay  and  hours  of  service  for  adver- 
tisable  positions  will  be  prepared  and  a  copy 
submitted  to  each  office  on  the  division,  to- 
gether with  a  copy  of  these  rules. 

ARTICLE   VI. 

Any  employe  declining  to  accept  promotion 
does  not  forfeit  his  rights  to  the  same  or 
any  other  position  he  may  be  entitled  to 
under  seniority  when  a  vacancy  occurs  or  a 
new  position  is  created. 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


287 


ARTICLE  VII, 

A  vacancy  will  be  filled  within  ten  days 
after  it  occurs  by  the  appointment  of  the 
man  entitled  to  it,  five  days  being  allowed 
in  which  to  apply  for  a  position  after  it  is 
advertised. 

ARTICLE  VIII. 

Any  employe  accepting  a  position  under 
Article  VII,  finding  it  is  unsuitable,  may 
resume  his  former  position  within  ten  days 
after  he  vacated  the  same.  After  the  expir- 
ation of  ten  days,  he  will  take  his  place  on 
the  extra  list,  but  with  his  seniority  rights 
intact. 

Any  employe  taking  an  agency  under  Arti- 
cle VII,  finding  it  unsuitable,  may,  within 
ten  days,  take  his  place  on  the  extra  list, 
with    seniority   rights    intact. 

ARTICLE   IX. 

At  offices  where  more  than  three  telegra- 
phers are  employed,  exclusively  for  telegraph 
service,  when  service  will  permit,  ten  con- 
secutive hours,  including  meal  hours,  will 
constitute  a  day's  work;  meal  hours  being 
so  arranged  that  one  telegrapher  will  be  on 
duty  at  all  times. 

ARTICLE    X. 

At  offices  where  two  telegraphers  are  em- 
ployed, twelve  consecutive  hours,  including 
meal  hour,  will  constitute  a  day's  work. 

At  offices  where  but  one  telegrapher  is  em- 
ployed, twelve  consecutive  hours,  including 
meal  hour,  will  constitute  a  day's  work,  the 
company  reserving  the  right  to  arrange  the 
hours  to  suit  the  service.  When  it  is  impos- 
sible to  relieve  a  telegrapher  for  meal  hour, 
overtime  will  be  paid  for  meal  hour. 

Where  meal  hour  is  allowed,  relief  for 
same  will  be  given  between  the  fifth  and 
seventh  hours  after  starting  work,  unless 
otherwise  arranged  by  mutual  local  agree- 
ment. 

ARTICLE  XL 

At  offices  where  six-hour  tricks  are  regu- 
larly established,  employes  will  be  allowed 
overtime  after  six  hours'  continuous  service; 
at  offices  where  eight-hour  tricks  are  regu- 
larly established,  overtime  will  be  allowed 
after  eight  hours'  continuous  service;  at 
offices  where  eight  or  nine  hours  optional 
tricks  or  regular  nine-hour  tricks  are  estab- 
lished, overtime  will  be  allowed  after  nine 
hours'    continuous  service. 

At  offices  where  ten -hour  tricks  or  twelve- 
hour  tricks  are  established,  overtime  will  be 
allowed  after  ten  hours,  or  twelve  hours' 
continuous  service,  respectively,  and  will  be

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


ARTICLE   II. 

(a)  Promotion  of  telegrraphers  shall  ex- 
tend over  each  superintendent's  division  and 
will  be  governed  by  merit  and  ability.  Where 
ability  is  sufRcient.  the  senior  telegrapher 
will  be  given  the  preference,  provided  that 
telegraphers  of  not  less  than  two  years' 
service  will,  on  application,  be  transferred 
from  one  superintendent's  division  to  an- 
other on  the  same  general  superintendent's 
division,  within  thirty  days  from  date  of 
such  application,  and  when  so  transferred 
will  be  allowed  seniority  on  the  new  division 
to  the  extent  of  three-fourths  their  seniority 
rights  on  the  division  from  which  trans- 
ferred. 

In  such  cases  the  telegrapher  making  the 
transfer  will  take  his  place  on  the  extra 
list,  and  will  have  the  right  to  file  into  bul- 
letined positions  as  per  clause   (c)   hereof. 

A  telegrapher  applying  for  a  transfer  will 
be  given  a  transfer  certificate  showing  his 
length  of  service  and  the  capacity  in  which 
he  has  been  employed,  which  will  be  his 
authority  for  claiming  his  seniority  on  the 
division  to  which  he  Is  transferring. 

Transfer  certificates  will  not  be  valid  un- 
less filed  with  the  superintendent  of  the 
division  to  which  transfer  is  being  made 
within  thirty  days  from  date  of  issue. 

Telegraphers  appointed  to  positions  in  the 
company's  service  which  are  not  Included 
in  this  schedule,  or  who  are  employed  ex- 
clusively by  the  Order  of  Railroad  Telegra- 
phers, will  retain  their  seniority  standing  in 
the  ranks  of  the  agents  and  operators. 

A  telegrapher's  seniority  will  date  from 
the  time  of  last  entering  the  service  as  a 
telegrapher. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  required  to  accept 
promotion,  but  do  not  forfeit  their  rights  to 
the  same,  or  any  other  position  to  which 
they  may  be  entitled  under  seniority  when 
a  vacancy   occurs. 

When  a  telegrapher  accepts  a  transfer, 
and  after  a  fair  trial  is  found  incapable,  he 
will  take  his  place  on  the  extra  list,  retain- 
ing his    seniority. 

(b)  In  case  of  a  reduction  in  the  number 
of  telegraphers   employed,   the  senior  teleg- 

-raphers  on  their  respective  divisions  will  be 
retained  in  preference  to  telegraphers  junior 
to  them,  and  when  a  position  shown  in  the 
schedule  is  abolished,  the  telegraphers  so 
displaced  will  be  given  preference  to  the  po- 
sition held  by  the  junior  permanently  lo- 
cated telegrapher  on  the  superintendent's  di- 
vision,  merit  and  ability  being  sufficient. 

(c)  All  vacancies  and  proposed  appoint- 
ments to  new  positions  will  be  advertised 
over  the  superintendent's  division  on  which 
they  occur  by  a  "23"  message  within  five 
days,  and  a  telegrapher  -shall  have  ten  days 
from  date  of  such  message  within  which  to 
file   application. 

A  vacancy  will  be  filled  within  forty-five 
days  after  it  occurs  by  appointment  of  the 
man  entitled  to  it,  and  such  appointment 
will  be  bulletined  over  the  division  Immedi- 
ately  thereafter   by   a    "23"    message. 

Nothing  in  this  clause  is  intended  to  pre- 
vent the  closing  of  any  position  either  tem- 
porarily or  permanently  should  it  become 
necessary  at  any  time. 

(d)  A  telegrapher  on  leave  of  absence 
when  a  vacancy  occurs  will  not  be  debarred 


from  claiming  the  position  and  receiving  the 
appointment  upon  resuming  duty,  if  entitled 
to  it. 

(e)  A  correct  list  of  all  telegraphers  on 
each  superintendent's  division,  showing 
tlieir  seniority  standing,  will  be  kept  on  file 
in  every  chief  train  dispatcher's  office,  open 
to  the  inspection  of  all  telegraphers  con- 
cerned. A  copy  of  such  list  corrected  to 
date  will  be  furnished  the  general  chairman 
at   the   beginning  of  each   year. 

ARTICLE  in. 
A  telegrapher  will  not  be  suspended  or 
discharged  without  just  cause,  and  if  sus- 
pended or  discharged  for  an  alleged  fault, 
the  reason  will  be  given  in  writing  and  he 
shall  have  a  fair  and  impartial  trial,  at  which 
he  may  be  assisted  by  another  telegrapher 
if  he  desires,  without  expense  to  the  com- 
pany, and  be  advised  of  the  decision  within 
fifteen  days  after  filing  his  written  request 
with  the  proper  officer.  If  suspended  for  in- 
vestigation, such  investigation  will  be  held 
and  he  will  be  advised  of  the  decision  within 
fifteen  days  without  such  request.  If  blame- 
less, as  charged,  he  will  be  paid  his  regular 
salary  and  be  reinstated.  Date  of  suspen- 
sion to  begin  from  date  relieved  for  investi- 
gation or  within  fifteen  days  from  date  of 
decision.  If  detained  more  than  fifteen  days

stance, he  will  be  paid  for  time  lost  in  ex- 
cess of  fifteen  days  whether  found  guilty  or 
not.  If  decision  rendered  is  considered  un- 
just, an  appeal  may  be  made  verbally  or  in 
writing   to   higher   officials. 

ARTICLE   IV. 

There  will  be  no  discrimination  against 
telegraphers  for  being  members  of  the  Order 
of  Railroad  Telegraphers,  and,  when  called 
on  to  serve  on  boards  of  adjustment,  they 
will  be  relieved  without  unnecessary  delay

purpose,  and  only  on  request  of  their  chair- 
man. 

ARTICLE   V. 

Telegraphers  will  be  granted  free  trans-

service   are   restricted  by   law   to   less    than 


eleven  hours  per  day,  where  not  more  than 
two  telegraphers  are  employed,  eleven  con- 
secutive hours,  including  meal  hour,  shall 
constitute   a   day's  work. 

At  offices  where  more  than  two  telegra- 
phers are  employed  ten  consecutive  hours, 
including  meal  hour,  will  constitute  a  day's

tween the  fourth  and  sixth  hours  of  service, 
or  in  lieu  thereof  they  will  be  paid  one  hour 
overtime  and  will  be  excused  for  lunch  as 
soon  thereafter  as  possible. 

ARTICLE  XVI. 

(a)  A  telegrapher  required  to  remain  on 
duty  longer  than  the  number  of  hours  con- 
stituting a  day's  work  will  be  given  an  offi- 
cial order  and  be  excused  in  the  same 
manner  and  will  be  allowed  overtime  as  per 
clause   (b). 

(b)  Overtime  will  be  computed  pro  rata 
on  schedule  wages  on  the  basis  of  twenty- 
six  days  per  month,  but  in  no  case  less  than 
thirty-five  (35)  cents  per  hour. 

All  overtime  will  be  paid  for  the  actual 
time  worked  computed  to  the  nearest  five 
minutes  and  an  allowance  of  five  (5)  minutes 
will  be  made  after  the  departure  of  pas- 
senger trains  to  enable  telegraphers  to  put 
away  baggage,  close  up  stations,  etc. 

(c)  If  a  telegrapher  is  called  before  or 
after  his  regular  hours  he  will  be  allowed 
fifty  (50)  cents  for  each  call  for  which  one 
hour's  service  shall,  if  necessary,  be  per- 
formed, except  when  a  telegrapher  is  re- 
quired to  attend  a  regular  schedule  train 
due  at  his  station  within  three  hours  after 
his  regular  eleven  hours'  duty,  when  he  will 
receive  thirty-five  (35 >  cen!s  for  the  first 
hour  of  duty  or  any  portion  thereof. 

If  required  on  duty  more  than  one  hour 
he  will  be  paid  overtime  thereafter,  fractions 
of  an  hour  to  be  computed  as  per  clause  (b). 
.  (d)  Except  in  cases  of  emergency,  teleg- 
raphers will  be  allowed  eight  consecutive 
hours  off  duty  in  the   twenty-four. 

(e)  Overtime  will  not  be  allowed  unless 
overtime  tickets  consecvitively  numbered  are 
mailed  to  the  proper  official  within  forty- 
eight  hours  from  the  time  service  is  per- 
formed. If  overtime  is  not  allowed  telegra- 
phers will  be  notified  within  ten  days  from 
the  time  service  was  performed,  setting 
forth  the  reasons. 

ARTICLE  XVII.

pensation of  thirty-five  (35)  cents  for  each 
call  which  shall  cover  the  first  hour's  service.

ARTICLE  XVIII. 

Telegraphers  who  have  been  in  the  employ 
of     the   company  four  or  more   consecutive

years   will   be   allowed   two   weeks'    leave   of 
absence    each    year   with    full    pay. 

If  the  company  find  it  inconvenient  to 
grant  leave  of  absence  during  any  year  to  a 
telegrapher  who  has  applied  for  and  is  en- 
titled to  it  under  this  rule,  the  telegrapher 
shall,  at  his  option,  receive  either  com- 
pensation at  his  regular  salary  for  the 
period  or  in  the  next  year  additional  leave 
of  absence    for   a   like    period. 

Applications  for  leave  of  absence  filed  in 
January  of  each  year  will  be  given  prefer- 
ence in  the  order  of  seniority  of  applicants, 
and  applicants  will,  if  possible,  be  advised 
in  February  of  dates  allotted  to  them.  Janu- 
ary applicants  will  have  preference  over 
later  applicants,  and  applicants  after  Sep- 
tember 1.3th  will  not  be  entitled  to  salary 
compensation  if  the  company  is  unable  to 
relieve  them  in  that  year.  The  company 
will,  as  far  as  practicable,  relieve  applicants 
during  the  summer  season  when  so  de- 
sired. 

In  the  event  of  a  telegrapher  being  dis- 
charged or  leaving  the  service  on  proper 
notice  before  obtaining  the  deferred  leave 
of  absence  he  will  be  paid  his  salary  for 
same. 

AJRTICLE    XIX. 

A  sufficient  number  of  relief  agents  will 
be  employed  to  meet  all  reasonable  demands. 
When  away  from  headquarters  they  will  be 
allowed  one  dollar  ($1.00)  per  day  ex- 
penses. 

Regular  relief  agents'  positions  will  be 
shown  in  the  wage  scale. 

Extra  relief  agents  will  be  paid  their  reg- 
ular salary  and  one  dollar  ($1.00)  per  day 
expenses.  If  the  telegrapher  used  as  extra 
relief  agent  has  no  regular  position  his  sal- 
ary will  be  the  minimum  salary  of  $70.00 
per    month. 

Expenses  will  be  allowed  only  when  called 
away  from   regular  place  of  residence. 

Any  telegrapher  relieving  an  agent  will 
be  considered  a  relief  agent. 

Telegraphers  holding  regular  positions 
called  away  from  their  place  of  residence  to 
relieve  an  operator  temporarily  will  be  paid 
one  dollar  ($1.00)  per  day  expenses  in  addi- 
tion to  his  regular  salary.

RULINGS    AND     INTERPRETATIONS. 

ARTICLE  I. 

Telephone  operators  in  charge  of  switch- 
boards or  who  do  not  transmit  train  orders 
or  messages  are  not  to  be  considered 
telegraphers. 

ARTICLE    II. 

Clause  (a).  The  intention  of  the  fifth 
liaragraph  of  this  clause  is  to  permit  any 
telegrapher  who  accepts  appointment  to  any 
officia)  position  in  the  company's  service,  or 
to  a  train  dispatcher's  position  to  retain 
his  seniority  in  the  ranks  of  telegraphers,  to 
l)e  exercised  at  any  time  that  he  may  be 
reduced  to  a  telegrapher's  position,  but  not 
to  be  exercised  while  holding  such  other 
position. 

ARTICLE  XV. 

Clause  (a)  oX  this  article  provides  for  a 
ten -hour  work  day  in  the  first  paragraph 
and  a  nine-hour  work  day  in  the  second 
paragraph.  Overtime  and  extra  pay  for 
Sunday  work  should  be  based  on  the  above 
working  day. 

Clause  (b).  The  intention  of  this  clause  is 
to   allow   telegraphers  a  full   hour  for  meal,

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


and  if  relieved  for  such  purpose  at  any  time 
within  the  two-hour  period  beginning  with 
the  close  of  the  fourth  hour's  service  and 
ending  with  the  close  of  the  sixth  hour,  and 
given  sixty  consecutive  minutes  for  his 
meal,  overtime  will  not  be  claimed. 

Example:  If  the  assigned  hours  of  serv- 
ice are  from  7:00  a.  m.  to  6:00  p.  m.,  and 
a  telegrapher  is  relieved  for  a  meal  be- 
tween 11:00  a.  m.  and  1:00  p.  m.,  and  al- 
lowed sixty  consecutive  minutes,  the  inten- 
tion has  been  fulfilled. 

If  relieved  at  12:30  p.  m.  and  required  to 
return  at  1:00  p.  m.,  one  hour  overtime 
will  be  paid.  But  if  not  required  to  return 
until  1:30  p.  m.,  he  will  not  be  entitled  to 
overtime. 

ARTICLE  XVL 

Clause  (b)  provides  that  overtime  will  be 
paid  for  actual  time  worked,  computed  to 
the  nearest  five  minutes,  the  rate  per  hour 
to  be  based  on  the  salary  named  in  the 
schedule  of  wages  pro  rated  on  a  twenty- 
six  day  month,  but  where  the  salary  is  not 
in  excess  of  $91.00  per  month,  the  rate  per 
hour  will  be  thirty-five   (35)  cents. 

WTiere  the  salary  is  in  excess  of  $91.00 
per  month,  the  rate  of  overtime  will  be  ar- 
rived at  by  dividing  the  salary  by  twenty- 
six  and  the  result  by  the  number  of  hours 
in  the  working  day  of  the  position,  as  fol- 
lows: 

Salary  $95.00,  divided  by  26  equals  3.653, 
which   is    the  rate   per   day. 

3.653  divided  by  10  equals  .365  or  36% 
cents  per  hour  for  ten-hour  work  day. 

"Where  the  minimum  rate  of  thirty-five 
(35)  cents  applies,  the  rate  for  a  five- 
minute  period  will  be  three  (3)  cents,  and 
where  the  rate  exceeds  thirty- five  (35) 
cents  per  hour,  such  rate  divided  by  twelve 
(12)  will  give  the  rate  for  each  five-minute 
period. 

ARTICLE  XVIL 

The  hours  of  service  for  Sunday  will  be 
the  same  as  the  assigned  week  day  hours, 
and  begin  with  the  hour  the  day  or  first 
trick  man  goes  on  duty  on  Sunday  morn- 
ing, and  to  end  with  the  close  of  the  last 
trick.  If  it  be  a  continuously  operated  of- 
fice, the  day  would  close  as  does  a  week 
day  the  following  morning  at  the  end  of 
the  night  trick. 

For  example,  the  hours  of  service  for  day 
mah  are  7:00  a.  m.  to  7:00  p.  m.,  and  the 
night  man  from  7:00  p.  m.  to  7:00  a.  m., 
and  the  day  beginning  at  7:00  a.  m.  In  the 
first  instance  ends  at  7:00  a.  m.  in  the 
second  instance,  completing  a  continuous 
trick  in  each  case  of  twelve  (12)  consecutive 
hours. 

AVhen  a  telegrapher  is  called  for  Sunday 
duty  within  these  assigned  week  day  hours. 


he  will  receive  the  rate  for  a  call  of  thirty- 
five  (35)  cents,  for  which  he  must,  If  re- 
quired, perform  one  hour's  service. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  called  for  duty  on 
Sunday  outside  his  assigned  week  day  hours, 
he  will  receive  the  rate  of  fifty  (50)  cents 
for  each  call,  which  will,  if  necessary,  cover 
one  hour's  service;  if  he  be  required  longer 
than  one  hour,  he  will  then  be  paid  over- 
time as  per  clause    (b)    of  Article  XVI. 

In  circumstances  where  telegraphers  are 
lequired  to  remain  close  at  hand  all  day 
Sunday  on  account  of  calls  being  spread 
over  the  whole  day,  they  will  be  paid  for  a 
whole  day,  and  where  under  the  same  cir- 
cumstances, they  are  obliged  to  remain 
close  at  hand  for  half  a  day,  they  will  be 
paid   half  a   day. 

That  is  to  say,  if  a  telegrapher  is  required 
to  come  on  duty  two  or  three  times  in  the 
forenoon,  and  is  free  in  the  afternoon,  he 
will  be  paid  for  the  half  day,  while  if  he 
is  required  three  or  more  times  during  the 
entire  day,  he  is  to  be  paid  one  day  pro 
rated  on  regular  salary. 

The  rate  for  a  call  on  Sunday  is  to  apply 
only  in  cases  where  a  full  day  is  not 
worked,  but  in  cases  where  regular  Sunday 
work  is  performed,  the  same  as  a  regular 
week  day,  the  pay  for  such  work  will  be 
based  pro  rata  on  schedule  salary  and 
twenty-six  days  per  month. 

It  is  not  the  intention  that  extra  pay  for 
Sunday  be  allowed  to  exclusive  agents  who 
may  come  around  to  their  stations  on  Sun- 
day, except  when  they  are  called  by  proper 
authority,  or  have  regularly  assigned  Sun- 
day hours. 

ARTICLE  XIX. 

Regular  relief  agents'  positions  are  shown 
in  the  wage  scale  and  are  to  be  bulletined. 
It  is  understood  that  when  the  number  of 
I'egular  relief  agents  employed  on  any  divi- 
sion is  not  sufficient  to  meet  the  require- 
ments, that  extra  relief  agents  will  be  ap- 
pointed in  accordance  with  the  rule  and  at 
times  of  the  year  when  all  the  regular 
relief  agents  may  not  be  needed,  a  tem- 
porary reduction  may  be  made,  but  in  most 
cases  it  is  expected  that  work  will  be  pro- 
vided for  them. 

The  headquarters  of  relief  agents  will  be 
named  by  the  officer  in  charge  of  them, 
and  they  will  be  advised  of  same.  In  case 
a  relief  agent  holds  a  permanent  position 
on  the  line,  such  place  will  be  considered 
as  his  headquarters.  , 

The  foregoing  rules,  interpetations  and 
lates  of  pay  have  been  agreed  to,  and  are 
to  remain  in  effect  subject  to  thirty  (30) 
days'  notice  given  by  either  party  desiring 
a   change.

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


317 


Grand  Trunk  Pacific  Railway 


(EFFECTIVE    JANUARY   1,   1917.) 


The  following  rules  and  wages  will  govern 
rhe  telegraphers  on  the  Grand  Trunk 
Pacific    Railway: 

When  additional  telegraphers'  positions 
are  created,  compensation  will  be  fixed  in 
conformity  with  that  for  positions  of  the 
same   class  as  shown  by  this  schedule. 

ARTICLE  I. 

All  employes  assigned  by  the  proper 
authority  to  railway  telegraph  or  railway 
telephone  service  of  any  character  or  dura- 
tion, also  the  station  agents  incorporated  in 
the  accompanying  schedule  of  wages,  will 
l)e  considered  telegraphers  within  the  mean- 
ing of  this  schedule,  excepting  the  statiop 
agents  at  the  following  places,  viz.:  Win- 
nipeg, Portage  la  Prairie,  Rivers,  Melville, 
^Yatrous,  Saskatoon,  Biggar,  Wainwright, 
Edmonton,  Bdson,  Jasper,  McBride,  Prince 
George,  Endako,  Smithers,  Pacific,  Prince 
Rupert,  Regina,  Moose  Jaw  and  Calgary;  but 
it  is  tmderstood  that  any  telegrapher  in  the 
employ  of  the  company  shall  be  entitled  to 
apply  and  eligible  for  appointment  at  these 
stations  whenever  vacant  if  possessing  the 
necessary  qualifications. 

ARTICLE   II. 

.(a)  The  right  of  promotion  of  telegra- 
phers, except  train  dispatchers,  will  extend 
over  each  superintendent's  district,  and  will 
be  governed  by  merit  and  ability;  where 
these  are  sufficient  the  senior  telegrapher 
will  be  given  preference;  superintendent  to 
be  the  judge;  provided,  that  telegraphers, 
except  train  dispatchers,  of  not  less  than 
two  years'  service  will  on  application  be 
transferred  from  one  superintendent's  dis- 
trict to  another  within  thirty  days  of  such 
application,  and  when  so  transferred  will 
be  allowed  seniority  on  new  district  to  the 
extent  of  three-fourths  of  their  length  of 
service.  In  such  case  the  telegrapher  mak- 
ing the  transfer  will  take  his  place  on  the 
extra  list,  and  will  have  "the  right  to  file 
into  bulletined  positions  as  per  clause  (c) 
hereof.  A  telegrapher  applying  for  a  trans- 
fer will  be  given  a  transfer  certificate, 
showing  his  length  of  service,  and  the 
capacity  in  which  he  has  been  employed, 
which  will  be  his  authority  for  claiming 
his  seniority  on  the  district  to  which  he  is 
transferring. 

Transfer  certificates  will  not  be  valid  un- 
less filed  with  the  superintendent  of  the 
district  to  which  transfer  is  being  made 
within  thirty  days  from  the  date  of  issue. 

(b)  A  telegrapher's  seniority  will  date 
from  the  time  he  last  entered  the  service 
as   a   telegrapher. 

(c)  All  vacancies  and  permanent  appoint- 
ments, including  the  stations  named  in 
Article  I,  and  excepted  therefrom,  will  be 
immediately  bulletined  by  a  "23"  message 
over  the  superintendent's  district.  Wlien 
vacancies  in  jKDsitions  are  bulletined,  the 
bulletin  will  state  the  rate  of  compensation. 
Applications  for  vacancies  must  be  made 
within   tep  days  from   the   date   of  bulletin. 


A  telegrapher  declining  to  accept  promo- 
tion in  any  instance  does  not  forfeit  his 
rights  to  the  same  or  any  other  position 
he  may  be  entitled  to  under  seniority  when 
a  vacancy  occurs.  A  telegrapher  on  leave 
of  absence  when  a  vacancy  occurs  will  not 
be  debarred  from  claiming  position  and  re- 
ceiving appointment  on  resuming  duty,  if 
entitled  to  it. 

A  vacancy  will  be  filled  within  thirty  days 
after  it  occurs  by  the  appointment  of  the 
man  entitled  to  it.  When  a  vacancy  occurs 
the  superintendent  will  fill  the  same  by  ap- 
pointing the  senior  inan  who,  in  his  opinion 
is  entitled  to  the  position,  but  that  will 
not  prevent  any  telegrapher  senior  to  the 
man  so  appointed  claiming  his  rights  under 
clause  (a)  hereof  to  the  position,  provided 
he  files  his  protest  within  ten  days  after 
the  appointment  has  been  bulletined  as 
above. 

(d)  Telegraphers  in  the  employ  will  be 
given  preference  in  filling  vacancies  or  open- 
ings on  extension  or  new  lines,  their  appli- 
cations to  be  endorsed  by  the  superintend- 
ent of  the  district  on  which  applicant  is 
employed. 

(e)  In  case  of  reduction  in  the  number  of 
telegraphers  employed,  the  senior  telegra- 
phers on  their  respective  superintendent's 
district  will  be  retained,  in  preference  to 
telegraphers  junior  to  them,  merit  and 
ability  been  sufficient. 

(f)  A  complete  list  of  all  telegralphers  on 
each  superintendent's  district  showing  their 
standing,  will  be  kept  on  file  in  the  respec- 
tive train  dispatching  offices,  open  to  in- 
spection by  all  telegraphers  concerned.  This 
list  will  be  subject  to  correction  on  proper 
representation  from  any  telegrapher,  and  a 
copy  of  it  up  to  date  will  be  furnished  the 
general  chairman  at  the  beginning  of  each 
year. 

(g)  Telegraphers  will  have  the  preference 
to  any  position  incorporated  in  the  wage 
schedule,  and  any  telegrapher's  position  sub- 
sequently added  in  accordance  with  the 
preamble,  and  also  to  any  new  telegrapher's 
positions  created  by  the  absorption  of  other 
lines,  or  the  construction  of  new  lines,  when 
vacancies  occur  in  such  positions. 

(h)  Telegraphers  promoted  to  official  posi- 
tions with  the  company  will  retain  their 
seniority  according  to  the  class  from  which 
promoted.  But  the  right  to  return  to  a 
telegrapher's  position  shall  be  subject  to 
the   approval   of   the   superintendent. 

(i)  The  right  of  promotion  of  train  dis- 
•  patchers  will  extend  over  each  general  su- 
perintendent's district,  and  will  be  governed 
by  merit  and  ability.  These  being  sufficient, 
the  senior  train  dispatcher  will  have  the 
preference. 

The  order  of  promotion  of  train  dispatch- 
ers will  be  from  senior  relieving  to  trick 
dispatcher.  The  seniority  of  a  train  dis- 
patcher will  date  from  the  time  he  was 
flr.st  appointed  a  trick  dispatcher.  A  train 
dispatcher  vidll  retain  his  seniority  standing 
in  the  ranks  of  agents  and  operators.

Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


Relieving  train  dispatchers  will  be  ap- 
pointed from  their  respective  superintend- 
ent's district,  if  available,  in  accordance 
with  clause  (c)  of  this  article,  and  will  be 
allowed  sufficient  time,  without  pay,  to 
learn  the  work  of  train  dispatching  under 
a  regular  trick  dispatcher,  such  time  not  to 
exceed  two  weeks,  and  they  wiil  remain  on 
such  district  until  they  have  received  promo-

occurs. 

All  vacancies  and  permanent  appointments 
in  dispatchers'  positions,  or  new  dispatchers' 
positions  created,  will  be  immediately  ad- 
vertised over  the  general  superintendent's 
district.  Application  must  be  made  within 
ten  days  from  date  of  bulletin  and  vacancy 
filled  within  thirty  days  after  it  occurs,  by 
the  appointment  of  the  dispatcher  entitled 
to  it.  If  a  train  dispatcher's  position  is 
abolished,  he  will  be  entitled  to  the  position 
held  by  the  junior  permanently  located  dis- 
patcher. 

ARTICLE   in. 

No  telegrapher  shall  be  suspended,  except 
for  investigation,  or  discharged  until  his 
case  has  been  investigated,  and  he  has  been 
proven  guilty  of  the  offence  charged;  the 
decision  in  such  case  to  be  arrived  at  within 
ten  days  of  the  date  of  suspension.  If  a 
telegrapher  be  found  blameless,  he  will  be 
reinstated  and  paid  at  schedule  wages  for 
the  time  lost,  and  will  be  reimbursed  reason- 
able expenses  if  away  from  home  in  such 
case.  If  detained  more  than  ten  days  at 
company's  instance  awaiting  decision,  he 
will  be  paid  schedule  wages  for  all  time  lost 
in  excess  of  ten  days,  regardless  of  decision 
reached.  "  A  telegrapher  may  have  the  as- 
sistance of  another  telegrapher  during  the 
investigation,  should  he  so  desire.  A  writ- 
ten statement  setting  forth  the  evidence 
taken,  and  result  of  investigation  if  deter- 
mined against  the  telegrapher,  will  be  fur- 
nished by  the  company  to  the  local  board 
of  adjustment,  on  written  consent  of  the 
telegrapher  or  telegraphers  affected. 

ARTICLE  IV. 
Lack  of  facilities  and  conveniences  will 
be  taken  into  consideration  in  locating  teleg- 
raphers, but  only  when  this  can  be  done 
without  infringing  on  the  rights  of  their 
seniors  in  the  service. 

ARTICLE  V. 
Telegraphers  serving  on  boards  of  adjust- 
ment representing  tel-egraphers  will  be  re- 
lieved without  unnecessary  delay,  not  to 
exceed  fifteen  days,  and  will  be  furnished 
free    transportation    for   such    purposes. 

ARTICLE  VL 
Telegraphers  will  be  granted  free  trans- 
portation and  leave  of  absence  to  attend 
their  meetings,  but  such  free  transportation 
will  not  extend  over  three  hundred  miles, 
and  leave  of  absence  will  not  exceed  two 
days,  and  will  only  be  granted  when  it  will 
not  interfere  with  the  service,  and  when 
the  company  will  not  be  put  to  any  expense 
thereby. 

ARTICLE  VIL 

When  a  telegrapher  is  transferred  by  or- 
der of  the  proper  officer,  he  will  suffer  no 


loss  of  wages  in  consequence,  j  and  will  be

telegraphy  on  the  company's  premises  with-  , 
out  the  permission  of  superintendent. 

ARTICLE    X. 

Telegraphers  required  to  work  at  wrecks, 
washouts,  and  slides  during  inclement

penses  when   away  from  home. 

ARTICLE  XI. 
A  telegrapher  securing  employment  with 
the  company,  will,  as  soon  as  practicable, 
have  returned  to  him  all  service  cards  and 
letters  of  recommendation  which  have  been 
taken  up  by  the  company,  except  any  pre- 
viously issued  by  the  company. 

ARTICLE  XII. 
A  telegrapher  leaving  the  service  of  the 
company  will,  on  written  request,  be  fur- 
nished with  a  written  statement  to  the

whether  discharged  or  leaving  on  his  own 
accord.  If  discharged,  cause  of  dismissal 
will  be  stated.  If  detained  more  than  ten 
days  awaiting  such  statement,  he  will  be 
paid  scheduled  wages  for  all  time  in  excess

to   reside  elsewhere. 

The  company  will  forego  rent  wliich  has 
been  previously  charged  telegraphers  for 
use  of  the  station  building,  on  the  distinct 
understanding  that  stations  occupied  by 
telegraphers  must  be  kept  clean  without 
any  extra   expense   to   the   company. 

A  telegrapher  occupying  the  company's 
dwelling,  who  is  dismissed  from  the  serv- 
ice, will  be  allowed  to  remain  in  dwefiing 
until  he  has  been  paid  all  moneys  due  him 
by  the  company.  The  company  will  keep 
its  dwelling  in  good  repair.  Occupants  will 
be  required  to  keep  dwellings  and  surround- 
ings clean,  and  will  pay  for  necessary  re- 
pairs other  than  those  due  to  ordinary  wear 
■  and  tear.

(c)  Overtime  will  be  computed  pro  rates 
on  schedule  wages,  based  on  twenty- six 
days  per  month,  but  In  no  case  at  less  than 
30  cents  per  hour  (less  than  thirty  minutes 
not  to  count;  thirty  minutes  or  over  to 
count  one  hour)  except  that  telegraphers 
regularly  required  to  remain  on  duty  after 
regular  hours,  if  detained  fifteen  minutes

first  hour  or  any  portion  thereof. 

(d)  If  a  telegrapher  is  called  before  or 
after  office  hours,  he  will  be  allowed  50  cents, 
which  will  cover  one  hour's  service.  If 
kept  on  duty  more  than  one  hour,  overtime

for  the  first  hour  of  duty  or  any  portion 
thereof,  and  thereafter  overtime  as  per 
clause  (c). 

(e)  The  regular  hours  of  duty  will  be 
.specified  by  the  trainmaster  to  all  teleg-

these  hours,  telegraphers  will  be  given  an 
official  order  as  authority,  and  excused  in 
the   same  manner. 

(f)  Overtime  will  not  be  allowed  unless 
overtime  tickets  are  mailed  to  the  proper

where-  twelve  hours  will  constitute  a  day's 
work  until  otherwise  arranged. 

ARTICLE  XXI. 
If   a   telegrapher    considers    himself   over- 
taxed,  his   statement   to   that    effect   to   the 
proper   officer   will    be    carefully   considered, 
and,  if  well  founded,  relief  will  be  granted. 

ARTICLE  XXII. 

When  the  handling  of  express  and  tele- 
graph business,  for  which  a  commission  is 
allowed,  is  withdrawn  from  any  telegrapher, 
the  wages  will  be  adjusted  to  conform  to 
that  of  similar  stations  in  that  locality 
where  such  work  is  not  performed  by  them. 

ARTICLE   XXin. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  assigned  to  a  posi- 
tion, and  is  found  incompetent  thereof  after 
a  fair  trial,  he  may  be  removed  therefrom, 
and  will  take  his  place  on  the  extra  list, 
retaining  his  seniority  rights,  but  this  does 
not  apply  to  a  case  where  the  telegrapher 
is  dismissed,  or  removed  for  neglect  or  de- 
fault. 

ARTICLE  XXIII- A. 

After  one  years'  service  regular  train  dis- 
patchers will  be  allowed  three  weeks'  leave 
of  absence  each  year  with  full  pay.  Other 
telegraphers  who  have  been  in  the  employ 
of  the  company  four  or  more  consecutive 
years,  will  be  allowed  two  weeks'  leave  of 
absence  with  full  pay.  If  the  company  find 
it  inconvenient  to  grant  leave  of  absence 
during  any  year  to  a  telegrapher  entitled  to 
it  under  this  rule,  the  telegrapher  shall  at 
his  option,  receive  either  compensation  at 
his  regular  salary  for  the  period,  or  in  the 
next  year  additional  leave  of  absence  for  a 
like  period.  Applications  for  leave  of  ab- 
sence filed  in  January  of  each  year  will  be 
given  preference  in  the  order  of  seniority 
of  applicants,  and  applicants  will  be  advised 
in  February  of  dates  allotted  to  them.  Jan- 
uary applicants  will  have  preference  over 
later  applicants,  and  applicants  over  the 
thirtieth  of  September  will  not  be  entitled 
to  salary  compensation  if  the  company  is  un- 
able to  relieve  them  in  that  year.  The  com- 
pany will,  as  far  as  practicable,  relieve  all 
applicants  during  the  summer  season  when 
.'lo   desired.

ARTKJLE  V. 
Seniority   List. 

Seniority  list  of  telegraphers  will  be  fur- 
nished the  employes'  committee  semi- 
annually, during  January  and  July  of  each 
year.  The  right  of  promotion  of  telegra- 
phers will  exist  over  the  division  and  to 
relay  offices. 

Promotion. 

To  obtain  promotion,  intelligent  and 
courteous  discharge  of  duty,  arid  capacity 
for  greater  responsibility  will  govern.  When, 
in  the  opinion  of  the  superintendent  (or 
superintendent  of  telegraph  for  men  report- 
ing to  him),  these  are  sufficient,  telegra- 
pher longest  in  continuous  service  will  have 
preference  in  filling  vacancies  and  newly- 
created  positions. 

Order   of  Appeal. 

Any  telegrapher  who  considers  he  has. 
been  discriminated  against  will  have  the 
right  to  appeal  either  in  person  or  through 
the  telegraphers'  committee  to  the  proper 
officer,  and  when  not  satisfied  with  the  de- 
cision will  have  the  same  right  of  appeal 
to  the  superintendent  or  general  manager. 

Filltng  of  Vacancies. 

When  vacancies  occur,  or  new  positions 
are  created  of  sixty  or  more  days'  duration, 
compensation  for  such  new  positions  will 
be  fixed  in  conformity  with  other  position 
of  similar  class  in  the  same  district.  This 
also  to  apply  to  telegraph  stations  that  have 
been  closed  and  are  reopened  as  telegraph 
stations.  Telegraphers  on  the  division 
where  they  occur,  will  be  notified  by  bul- 
letin to  be  posted  in  offices  within  seven 
days.  In  the  notice  of  newly  created  posi- 
tions will  be  stated  the  salary  to  be  paid 
for  such  position.  Telegraphers  making  ap- 
plication for  vacancy  or  newly  created  posi- 
tions to  which  their  seniority  entitles  them, 
will,  If  not  assigned  to  such  positions,  be 
given   the  reason  in   writing  if  requested. 

Transferred  and  Found  incompetent. 
When    telegraphers    are    transferred,    and 
after    a    fair    trial    are    found    incompetent, 
they  will  be  placed  on  the  extra  list,  retain- 
ing their  seniority  rights. 

Exercise  of  Seniority. 

Telegraphers  affected  by  reduction  of 
force  or  abolishing  of  positions,  will  be  per- 
mitted to  enter  any  position  of  their  choice 
filled  by  a  telegrapher  junior  to  them.

Any  employe,  except  train  dispatchers, 
performing  the  duties  of  a  telegrapher, 
whether  termed  operator,  agent  and  oper- 
ator, or  otherwise,  or  any  telephone  oper- 
ator required  to  receive  or  transmit  train 
orders;  also  station  agents  specified  in  this 
agreement,  will  be  considered  telegraphers 
within   the  meaning  of  these  articles. 

ARTICLE    II. 
Investigation    and     Discipline. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  suspended  or  dis- 
missed for  an  alleged  fault,  he  shall  have  a 
fair  and  impartial  investigation  within  ten 
days  after  filing  written  request  therefor 
with  the  proper  official,  and  if  found  not  at 
fault  as  charged,  shall  be  reinstated  and 
paid   for  time   lost.      (It  Is  understood   time 


lost  will  include  commissions  on  express 
and  Western  Union  business  as  well  as  the 
railroad  salary.)  Written  request  must  be 
made  within  ten  days  from  suspension  or 
dismissal. 

Telegraphers  dissatisfied  with  result  of 
investigation  by  the  official  under  whose 
jurisdiction  they  are  employed,  will  have 
the  right  to  appeal  to  his  superior  officers 
within  ten  days,  either  in  person  or  through 
a  committee  of  the  Order  of  Railroad  Teleg- 
raphers. 

ARTICLE   IIL 

Seniority,    Promotion    and    Bulletining   of 
Positions. 

Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  as  in  line 
for  promotion,  advancement  depending  on 
faithful,  intelligent  and  courteous  dis- 
charge of  duty  and  capacity  for  greater  re- 
sponsibility.     Where    these    are    sufHcient,

seniority   will   govern,    division    superintend- 
ents   to    be    the   judges. 

Division  superintendents  will  furnish  each 
local  chairman  an  ofRcial  seniority  list  in 
January  and  July  of  each  year,  covering 
their  respective  divisions,  showing  where 
telegraphers    are    located. 

Seniority  will  be  effective  only  when  va- 
cancies, occur  or  when  new  positions  are 
created,  and  will  date  from  the  last  time 
of  entering  the  service,  and  extend  over 
each    division. 

Vacancies  and  new  positions  will  be 
promptly  bulletined  to  all  offlces  on  the  di- 
vision on  which  they  occur.  Eligible  teleg- 
raphers will  be  given  ten  days  in  which 
to  apply  for  same.  Such  positions  will  be 
filled    within    thirty    days. 

When  a  telegrapher  loses  a  regular  po- 
sition through  no  fault  of  his  own,  he  shall 
displace  the  youngest  regular  man  work- 
ing at  the  time  and  will  retain  his  sen- 
iority. 

Telegraphers  accepting  bulletined  posi- 
tions, and  after  a  fair  trial  found  incom- 
petent, will  be  placed  on  the  extra  list 
with    seniority    unimpaired. 

Temporary  positions  or  vacancies  in  of- 
flces where  more  than  one  telegrapher  is 
employed  will  be  filled  by  advancing  teleg- 
raphers In  those  offlces  according  to  their 
seniority,  provided  it  can  be  done  without 
conflicting  with  the  state  or  national  rest 
laws. 

Temporary  positions  or  vacancies  of  thirty 
days  or  more  will  be  bulletined  and  filled 
in  accordance  with  paragraph  4  of  this  ar- 
ticle, the  successful  applicant's  position  to 
be  filled  from  the  extra  list. 

When  a  position  abolished  is  re-estab- 
lished, within  ninety  days  from  date  of  such 
abolishment  the  telegrapher  holding  the 
position  at  the  time  it  was  abolished  shall 
have  the  privilege  of  assignment  to  the  po- 
sition   without    it    again    being   bulletined. 

In  the  event  a  telegrapher  is  dismissed 
from  the  service  and  afterwards  reinstated  to 
his  former  position,  telegraphers  displaced 
by  reason  of  such  reinstatement  shall  be 
returned  to  position  held  by  them  at  the 
time  the   said   telegrapher  was   dismissed. 

Senior  extra  telegraphers,  when  available 
and  competent,  will  be  used  in  preference 
to    junior    extra    telegraphers. 

ARTICLE   rV.

At  stations  where  day  telegraphers  are 
employed  in  addition  to  agents,  the  day

the  telegraph  offlce,  except  in  cases  specially 
authorized    by    the    division    superintendent. 

AUTICLE   V.

Any  telegrapher  who  thinks  he  has  good 
grounds  for  complaint  in  reference  to  his 
treatment,  will  be  heard  by  the  division

pay  to  be  based  on  position  to  which  trans- 
fer is  made.

Sundays  or  holidays,  except  when  abso- 
lutely necessary  to  protect  the  company's

ARTICLE  I. 
All  telegraph  operators,  telephone  oper- 
ators and  station  agents  specified  in  this 
schedule  will  be  considered  telegraphers 
within  the  meaning  of  these  articles,  irre- 
spective of  title  by  which  designated,  or 
character  of  service  performed  and  will 
be  governed  by  the  regulations  and  paid 
at  the  rates  specified  herein. 

ARTICLE  II. 
When  new  positions  are  created,  the 
wages  will  be  fixed  to  conform  to  positions 
of  a  similar  class.  "When  a  station  or  tele- 
graph office  has  been  closed  for  a  period 
of  thirty  days  and  is  reopened,  it  will  be 
treated  as  a  new  office  and  the  salary  will 
be  fixed  to  conform  with  stations  or  offices 
of   like    class. 

ARTICLE  III. 
Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  as  in  line 
of  promotion,  advancement  depending  on 
faithful  discharge  of  their  duty  and  capacity 
for  increased  responsibility,  according  to  the 
judgrment  of  the  proper  officer  of  the  com- 
pany; seniority  will  prevail.  When  vacancies 
occur  or  new  positions  are  created,  they 
will  be  advertised  within  ten  days  and  ap- 
plications   must    be    filed    within    five    days. 


The  position  will  be  permanently  filled  within 
twenty  days.  In  filling  temporary  vacancies 
of  fifteen  days  or  more,  the  oldest  competent 
extra  telegrapher  in  the  service  will  be  given 
preference.  Any  telegrapher  accepting  and 
being  assigned  to  an  advertised  position  will 
not  be  eligible  to  the  position  vacated  by 
him  until  same  shall  have  been  declined  by 
all  telegraphers,  or  it  is  advertised  a  second 
time.  In  the  event  of  a  reduction  in  force, 
retention  in  service  will  be  governed  by 
.seniority,  together  with  merit,  capacity  and 
qualifications,  based  on  the  judgment  of  the 
pioper  officer  of  the  company.  Telegraphers 
will  retain  their  seniority  on  the  extra  list. 
Telegraphers  refusing  promotion  will  not 
lose  their  seniority. 

ARTICLE   IV. 

No  telegrapher  will  be  suspended  or  dis- 
charged from  the  service  of  the  company 
without  just  cause  and  will  be  given  prompt 
hearing  within  five  days,  before  the  chief 
train  dispatcher,  and  will  be  notified 
promptly  of  the  decision  rendered. 

If  he  considers  his  punishment  unjust  he

FESTUS  J.  WADE,  Receiver 


(EFFECTIVE   NOVEMBER  19,  1917.) 


ARTICLE    I. 

All  employes  performing  the  duties  of 
a  telegrapher,  except  train  dispatchers, 
whether  termed  operator,  agent  and  oper- 
ator, or  otherwise,  also  such  other  employes 
as  are  specified  in  this  schedule,  will  be  con- 
sidered telegraphers  within  the  meaning  of 
these  articles. 

ARTICLE    II. 

When  a  new  position  requiring  a  telegra- 
pher is  created,  these  rules  and  regulations 
will  apply  and  in  fixing  the  compensation, 
similar  positions,  responsibility  and  wages 
will  be  considered. 

When  commissions  accruing  to  any  posi- 
tion are  materially  reduced  or  entirely  re- 
moved,  prompt  adjustment  will  be  made. 

ARTICLE  III. 
Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  as  in  line 
for  promotion  and  advancement,  depending 
on  faithful,  intelligent  and  courteous  dis- 
charge of  duty  and  capacity  for  greater 
responsibility.  Where  these  are  sufficient, 
seniority  will  govern. 

ARTICLE  IV. 

In  case  of  reduction  in  force,  the  youngest 
assigned  telegrapher  shall  be  reduced  first. 
When  re-employing  such  men,  seniority  shall 
govern,  subject  tO;  the  provision  of  Article 
III. 

ARTICLE   V. 

Vacancies  will  be  bulletined  within  five 
days  to  employes  and  no  position  filled  per- 
manently within  ten  days  after  the  issuance 
of  bulletin,  but  shall  be  filled  within  thirty 
days.  These  bulletins  are  to  show  salary, 
average  express  and  Western  Union  com- 
mission. (Note. — Local  chairman  of  telegra- 
phers to  be  notified  of  all  applicants  and  the 
assignment. ) 

When  transferred  and  after  a  fair  trial 
telegraphers  are  found  to  be  incapable,  they 
shall  be  assigned  to  the  extra  list,  retaining 
their  seniority. 

ARTICLE   VI. 

Seniority  will  be  effective  only  when  va- 
cancies occur  or  new  positions  are  created, 
and  shall  be  effective  from  the  date  when 
employe  last  entered  the  service. 

A  telegrapher  shall  not  be  eligible  to  re- 
turn to  a  position  vacated  by  him  until  same 
shall  have  been  advertised  a  second  time, 
unless  there  are  no  other  applicants. 

Telegraphers  declining  promotion  do  not 
forfeit  seniority  rights  to  this  or  any  other 
position   when   a   vacancy   occurs. 

Telegraphers  leaving  the  service  forfeit  all 
seniority  rights  and  shall  be  re-employed 
only  as  new  men.  Trading  positions  shall 
not  be  permitted. 

ARTICLE  VTI. 
Seniority  lists  shall  be  prepared  and  fur- 
nished to  all  employes  by  the  superintendent 
of   transportation  semi-annually. 


ARTICLE  VIII. 

Telegraphers  shall  not  be  disciplined  or 
discharged,  except  for  a  Just  cause,  and  shall 
be  given  a  fair  and  irnpartial  hearing  as 
soon  as  practical,  if  requested.  They  shall 
be  entitled  to  have  present  a  representa- 
tive in  the  employ  of  the  company  and  shall 
be  notified  of  results  of  the  investigation 
promptly, 

When  a  telegrapher  has  been  disciplined 
or  discharged  and  upon  investigation  it  is 
found  that  he  was  not  at  fault,  he  shall  re- 
ceive full  pay  for  the  time  lost  on  said  ac- 
C(punt,  and  be  reinstated  with  all  seniority 
rights.  In  the  event  a  grievance  cannot  be 
satisfactorily  adjusted  with  the  superintend- 
ent of  transportation,  the  telegrapher  shall 
have  the  right  to  appeal  to  higher  officers  in 
their   regular  order. 

ARTICLE  IX. 
At  offices  where  but  one  ttlegrapher  is 
employed,  ten  consecutive  hours  with  one 
hour  off  for  meal  sliaii  constitute  a  day's

than  nine  hours  shall  be  allowed  sixty  con- 
secutive minutes  between  11:00  and  2:00 
o'clock,  day  and  night,  for  meals.  When 
necessary  to  curtail  this  time  to  less  than 
sixty  minutes,  one  hour  overtime  will  be 
allowed.  At  offices  where  two  or  more  teleg- 
raphers are  employed,  nine  consecutive 
hours,  including  the  meal  hour,  shall  consti- 
tute '  a   day's   work.

receive  overtime  at  the  rate  of  35  cents 
per  hour;  thirty  minutes  or  less  shall  not 
be  counted;  more  than  thirty  minutes  shall 
be  counted  one  hour. 

Telegraphers  called  or  Instructed  to  come 
on  duty  before  or  after  their  regular  as- 
signed hours  shall  be  allowed  fifty  (50)  cents 
for  the  first  hour  or  any  part  thereof  and 
overtime  thereafter.  Telegraphers  shall  re- 
spond promptly  to  all  calls.  Overtime  must 
be  reported  to  the  superintendent  of  trans- 
portation within  forty-eight  (48)  hours  after 
the  service  has  been  performed. 

ARTICLE   XI. 
Telegraphers  shall  be  relieved  on  Sundays 
and  holidays,   as  far  as  practicable,  without 
reduction    in    pay.      This    article    is    to    be 
liberally  construed  by  both  parties. 

ARTICLE  XII.

coroner's  inquest  by  the  company,  away  from 
their  place  of  residence,  shall  be  paid  their 
regular  wages  and  furnished  transportation

mittee representing  the  telegraphers,  that 
the  application  of  paragraph  (g;  of  Article 
VIII  will  be  as  follows: 

Any  telegrapher  who  has  been  continuous- 
ly in  the  telegraph  service  for  two  years, 
and  for  the  last  six  months  at  a  station 
where  the  hours  of  service  are  ten  or  more 
daily,  and  whose  bulletined  hours  include 
Sunday  work,  shall  be  entitled  to  fifteen 
days'  vacation. 

(h)  Telegraphers  in  relay  offices  who  have 
been  two  years  continuously  in  the  employ 
of  the  company  in  relay  service,  will  be  given 
fifteen  days'  vacation  annually  with  pay,  or 
in  lieu  thereof,  additional  compensation  for 
fifteen  days  at  their  regular  rates  of  pay. 

ARTICLE   IX. 
Overtime. 

(a)  Overtime  shall  be  computed  pro  rata 
on  stated  salary  with  minimum  rate  of 
thirty-five  cents  per  hour;  except  at  "GM" 
St.  Louis,  "OF"  Little  Rock  and  "CY"  Kan- 
sas City,  where  the  rate  shall  be  fifty  cents 
per  hour.  » 

(b)  In  computing  overtime,  thirty  minutes 
or  less  not  to  be  counted;  over  thirty  min- 
utes to  be  counted  one  hour. 

(c)  Overtime  will  not  be  allowed  unless 
overtime  tickets  are  mailed  to  proper  oflacial 
within  twenty-four  hours  from  time  service 
is  performed.  If  overtime  is  not  allowed, 
telegraphers  will  be  notified  within  ten  days 
from  time  such  service  is  performed. 

ARTICLE   X. 
Seniority  and  Promotion. 

(a)  Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  in  line 
of  promotion,  advancement  depending  upon 
faithful  discharge  of  duty  and  capacity  for 
increased  responsibility.  "^Iiere  these  are 
sufficient  in  the  judgment  of  the  manage- 
ment, seniority  will  have  the  preference. 
Telegraphers  making  application  for  a  vacan- 
cy or  a  newly  created  position  to  which  their 
seniority  entitles  them,  will.  If  not  assigned 
to  such  position,  be  given  the  reason  in  writ- 
ing if  requested. 

(b)  On  divisions  where  telegraphers  are 
not  used  in  dispatchers'  offices,  the  senior 
telegrapher  must,  if  he  desires  promotion  to 
position  of  dispatcher,  put  in  enough  time  in 
dispatcher's  office  at  his  own  expense  to 
thoroughly  familiarize  himself  with  the  du- 
ties of  a  dispatcher  other  than  those  of 
moving    trains. 

(c)  "WTien  a  telegrapher  is  transferred,  or 
promoted,  and,  after  a  fair  trial,  is  found 
incapable,  he  will  take  his  place  on  the  extra 
list  mitil  there  is  a  vacancy  to  which  he 
may  be  appointed,  and  will  then  resume  his 
seniority  rights. 


(d)  Telegraphers  declining  promotion  to 
any  position  do  not  forfeit  their  seniority 
rights. 

(e;  Seniority  will  date  from  time  of  last 
entering  the  service  in  a  position  covered  by 
Article  I,  and  will  extend  over  each  superin- 
tendent's road  division.  On  terminals,  divi- 
sion seniority  will  follow  the  jurisdiction  of 
division  operators. 

(f>  Telegraphers  desiring  position  in  relay 
offices  will  file  application  for  same  with  the 
superintendent  of  telegraph  and  these  appli- 
cations will  be  considered  as  vacancies  occur 
or  additions  are  made  to  the  force.  Teleg- 
raphers accepting  position  in  any  relay  office 
will  retain  seniority  on  the  division  from 
which  promoted  until  thirty  days  after  being 
assigned  to  a  regular  position  and  will  then 
be  subject  to  the  provisions  of  paragraph 
(j;  of  this  article. 

Office  seniority  in  the  relay  offices  will 
govern  in  filling  vacancies,  subject  to  para- 
graph (aj  of  this  article,  the  lowest  salaried 
position  being  bulletined  and  filled  as  per 
Article  XI,  paragraph  (a).  Rights  will  ex- 
tend to  all  relay  offices  shown  as  such  In 
wage  scale.  In  reducing  the  force  at  any 
such  office,  the  lowest  salaried  position  at 
that  office  will  be  abolished  and  the  youngest 
telegrapher  relieved,  who  in  turn  may  re- 
lieve the  youngest  regularly  assigned  teleg- 
rapher  in  the   relay   service. 

(g>  An  agent  at  a  regular  telegraph  sta- 
tion to  whom  the  duties  of  a  telegrapher 
are  assigned,  will  not  be  disturbed  in  his 
position  by  reason  of  such  added  duties. 

(h)  In  the  event  of  a  reduction  of  force, 
the  last  man  to  enter  the  service  will  be  the 
first  laid  off,  and  in  the  event  of  re-employ- 
ment, the  oldest  man  laid  off  will  be  given 
work  first,  subject  to  the  provisions  of  the 
first  paragraph  of  this  article. 

In  reducing  force  at  any  office,  the  young- 
est man  in  service  (division  seniority^,  at 
the  office  will  be  displaced  and  the  lowest 
rate  abolished.  In  increasing  the  force  at 
any  office,  the  last  trick  will  be  considered 
the  new  position  and  will  be  filled*  in  accord- 
ance with-  Article  XI,  the  telegraphers  mov- 
ing up  on  tricks. 

A  telegrapher  suspended  from  the  service 
under  this  rule  may  displace  the  youngest 
regularly  assigned  telegrapher  on  tlie  divi- 
sion. 

This  will  also  apply  to  telegraphers  at 
stations  that  have  been  closed. 

(i)  A  telegrapher  assigned  to  service  as 
an  agent,  agent's  chief  clerk,  cashier,  ticket 
clerk  or  chief  dispatcher's  clerk,  will  retain 
his  seniority  so  long  as  he  remains  in  con- 
tinuous  service   on   the   same   division. 

(j)  A  telegrapher  who  has  been  four  years 
continuously  in  the  service  may  transfer 
from  one  superintendent's  division  to  an- 
other, retaining  one-half  of  his  seniority,  in 
even  number  of  years,  with  rights  only  to 
apply  for  positions  as  vacancies  occur;  and 
will  be  furnished  a  letter  showing  seniority 
held  prior  to  transfer.  In  computing  senior- 
ity for  transfer,  six  months  or  less  not  to 
be  counted;  over  six  months  to  be  counted 
one  year. 

(k)  When  a  temporary  vacancy  of  ten 
days  or  more  occurs  in  any  office,  telegra- 
phers in  such  office  may,  if  they  so  desire 
and  are  considered   competent,   move  up  on

the  positions  vacated,  in  accordance  with 
office  seniority  in  relay  offices  and  division 
seniority  In  other  offices.  The  telegrapher 
entering  the  office  for  the  extra  work  will 
be  placed  on  the  last  position  temporarily 
vacated.  Time  lost  in  making  such  moves 
will  be  borne  by  the  telegraphers  affected. 
Senior  extra  telegraphers,  when  available 
and  competent,  will  be  used  in  preference  to 
junior  telegraphers  and  may  displace  junior 
men,  provided  such  temporary  positions  con- 
tinue for  ten  days  or  more.

in  turn,  within  ten  days  of  its  receipt,  advise 
the  official  from  whom  such  notice  was  re- 
ceived of  all  applications  for  the  vacancy, 
and  the  position  will  be  permanently  filled  in 
accordance  with  Article  X  within  twenty

(EFFECTIVE    AUGUST    1,    1916.) 


The  followinK  will  be  the  rules  and  rates 
of  wages  for  telegraphers: 

ARTICLE    I. 

Definition    of    Term    "Telegraphers",    "Tele- 
phoners",   "Levermen". 

Telegraphers,  telephoners,  who  handle  or- 
ders or  messages;  also  station  agents  and 
levermen  specifiecl  herein,  shall  be  consid- 
ered as  telegraphers  within  the  meaning  of 
this  schedule. 

When  new  positions  are  created  compen- 
sation will  be  arranged  in  conformity  with 
positions  of  the  same  class  as  shown  in 
this  schedule. 

ARTICLE    II. 
Promotions  and   Transfers. 

Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  in  line  for 
promotion,  and  where  ability  is  sufficient 
seniority  will  prevail.  In  making  transfers 
and  promotions,  seniority  will  govern,  pro- 
vided ability  to  fill  the  position  is  sufficient. 
Seniority  will  date  from  the  last  time  of 
entering  the  service  and  will  extend  over 
each  superintendent's  division.  Transfers 
from  one  division  to  another  will  be  at  the 
discretion  of  the  general  superintendent, 
and  will  be  made  when  a  position  cannot  be 
filled  on  account  of  lack  of  ability  among  the 
telegraphers  on  the  division  on  which  the 
vacancy  exists.  The  superintendent  of  the 
division  on  which  the  vacancy  exists,  or  the 
superintendent  of  telegraph,  will  be  the 
judges  as  to  the  ability  of  the  applicant. 
Temporary  vacancies  on  any  division  will 
be  filled  by  transfer  from  the  general  extra 
list  by  the  superintendent  of  telegraph. 
Telegraphers  transferred  from  one  division 
to  another  will  carry  their  seniority  with 
them. 

ARTICLE  III. 

Vacancies  to  Be  Bulletined. 

Vacancies  will  be  promptly  bulletined  to 
all  offices  on  each  division  and  will  be  filled 
by  the  division  superintendent,  or  superin- 
tendent of  telegraph,  in  accordance  with  Ar- 
ticle II.  A  vacancy  will  be  filled  as  soon  as 
practicable.  Applications  for  the  vacancy 
must  be  filed  within  six  days  after  the  is- 
suing of  the  bulletin.  When  a  telegrapher 
is  transferred  or  promoted,  and  after  a  fair 
trial  is  found  incapable,  he  will  take  his 
place  on  the  extra  list,  but  will  retain  his 
seniority  rights.  Telegraphers  declining  to 
accept  promotion  or  transfer  to  any  position 
do  not  forfeit  their  rights  to  it  or  another 
position  when  vacancy  occurs. 

.  ARTICLE  rV. 

Discontinuance  of  Positions. 
•  In  the  event  of  any  position  shown  in  the 
wage  scale  being  abolished,  the  telegrapher 
who  shall  be  displaced  will  be  entitled  to 
the  position  held  by  the  junior  man  perma- 
nently located,  provided  his  seniority  en- 
titles him  to  such  position  and  he  is  properly 
qualified. 


ARTICLE   v. 

Seniority  List. 
The  general  chairman  of  telegraphers' 
committee  shall  be  furnished  a  seniority  list 
of  persons  included  in  this  schedule  upon  ap- 
plication to  the  head  of  the  respective  de- 
partments. 

ARTICLE  VI. 
Seniority  Effective. 
Seniority  will  only  be  effective  when  va- 
cancies occur  or  new  positions  are  created. 
All  telegraphers  west  of  the  Detroit  River 
shall  be  eligible  to  bid  on  any  position  bul- 
letined in  Relay  Offices,  Detroit  "F",  Jack- 
son "SP",  Bay  City  "DI",  and  Chicago 
"CG".  Such  telegraphers  assigned  to  posi- 
tions in  the  above  mentioned  relay  offices 
hold  seniority  rights  only  on  the  division 
from  which  they  came  when  entering  the 
relay  offices.  Under  this  arrangement  To- 
ledo Division,  Detroit  Terminal,  East  Divi- 
sion and  Bay  City  Division  shall  be  known 
as  Detroit  Division. 

ARTICLE  vn. 
Rating  New  Positions. 
When  new  positions  are  created  compen- 
sation will  be  arranged  in  conformity  with 
positions  of  the  same  class  as  shown  in  this 
schedule. 

ARTICLE    VIII. 
Discipline  and  Right  of  Appeal. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  suspended  or  dis- 
charged without  just  cause.  When  they  con- 
sider they  have  been  unjustly  treated,  they 
will  have  a  right  to  appeal  to  the  division 
superintendent,  general  superintendent  and 
general  manager  in  the  order  named.  In 
case  a  telegrapher  has  been  disciplined  or 
discharged  and  after  investigation  found  not 
at  fault  he  will  be  reinstated  and  paid  for 
all  time  lost.  Such  investigation  is  to  be 
held  within  ten  days  after  the  request  of  the 
party  designated.  Telegraphers  may  be  ac- 
companied by  one  or  more  co-employes  from 
their  department  at  any  or  all  Investigations 
if  they  so  desire.

Section  1.  Telegraphers  absent  from  regu- 
lar duty  on  business  of  the  company,  whether

ized expenses  while   away  from  home.

held. 

Employes  who  have  been  displaced  may 
claim  a  position  in  their  class  of  service 
which  has  been  advertised  and  not  bid  for, 
provided  the  position  has  not  been  adver- 
tised on  the  Electric  Division. 
~  Employes  who  have  been  displaced  and

again  bid  back  into  any  vacancy  which 
may  occur  in  the  class  from  which  they 
have  been  displaced;  failing  to  again  bid 
for  the  higher  class  of  service  will  cause 
any  junior  man  who  may  be  the  successful 
bidder  to  thereafter  rank  ahead  of  the  senior 
man  in  that  advanced  class  of  service,  but 
this  is  not  to  be  construed  to  prevent  the 
formerly  displaced  man  from  again  bidding 
for  positions  advertised  in  the  higher  class.

THE    ADDITIONAL    RULES    GOVERNING    THE    ILLINOIS    DIVISION,   WHICH 

ARE    EFFECTIVE    AUGUST    1,    1916.)

phoners,  towermen,  agents  and  others,  whose 
positions  are  shown  in  the  attached  wage 
scale. 

RULE  II. 

Promotion  will  be  governed  by  seniority  on 
divisions;  seniority  will  date  from  the  last 
time  of  entering  the  service  covered  by  this 
schedule.  The  senior  applicant  will  receive 
the  promotion  when,  in  the  judgment  of 
superintendent,  ability  is  sufficient;  in  case 
ability  of  senior  applicants  is  not  considered 
sufficient  they  will,  if  they  so  desire,  be 
allowed  not  exceeding  fourteen  days  in  which 
to  post  on  the  duties  of  the  position  applied 
for  before  decision  may  be  rendered  dis- 
qualifying such  applicants. 

Transfers  from  one  division  to  another 
will  be  made  only  when  employes  of  suffi- 
cient ability  are  not  available  on  the  division 
where  vacancy  exists.  When  employes  are 
transferred  to  another  division  or  to  posi- 
tions or  service  not  covered  by  this  schedule, 
they  will  retain  their  seniority  rights  for  one 
year  from  date  of  said  transfer. 

Leave  of  absence,  not  to  exceed  three 
months,  may  be  granted  on  request,  but  not 


more  than  one  extension  of  three  months, 
or  a  total  of  six  months  in  a  one-year  period 
will  be  granted  except  that  in  case  of  em- 
ployes serving  as  committeemen  for  their 
organizations,  extensions  will  be,  and  in 
case  of  sickness  may  be,  made  to  suit  the 
circumstances. 

RULE  III. 

Seniority  will  only  be  effective  when  va- 
cancies occur  or  new  positions  are  created 
or  in  case  of  reduction  in  force.  Seniority 
lists  of  employes  covered  by  this  schedule 
will  be  prepared  by  superintendent  and  re- 
vised semi-annually  and  a  copy  furnished 
the  general  chairman  during  January  and 
July  of  each  year. 

Employes  laid  off  on  account  of  reduction 
of  force  will,  if  competent,  be  given  employ- 
ment on  other  divisions,  when  there  are 
vacancies,  in  preference  to  employing  new 
men. 

RULE  IV. 

Employes  covered  by  this  schedule  declin- 
ing to  accept  promotion,  will  not  lose  their 
rights  to  future  promotion,  in   their  turn. 

Employes  covered  by  this  schedule  pro- 
moted and  found  incompetent  will  take  their 
place  on  the  extra  list,  but  will  retain  their 
seniority   rights.

RULE  I. 

The  following  rules  will  apply  to  employes 
of  the  New  York,  Chicago  &  St.  Louis  Rail- 
road at  the  positions  shown  in  the  accom- 
panying wage  scale. 

When  additional  position.^  of  like  character 
are  ^created   compensation,   duties  and  hours 


of  .'-•ervice  will  be  arranged  in  conformity 
with  positions  of  the  same  relative  impor- 
tance covered  by  this  schedule. 

RULE   II. 

Promotions  or  assignments  shall  only  be 
made  when  vacancies  occur  or  when  new 
positions  are  established,  and  shall  be  gov- 
erned by  fitness  and  age  in  the  service,  de- 
termination of  the  matter  to  be  in  accord- 
ance with  Rule  127,  Company  Book  of  Rules. 
At  the  end  of  each  calendar  month  notice 
shall  be  given  by  bulletin  of  all  vacancies 
in  positions  shown  in  the  wage  scale.  The 
oldest  telegrapher  in  the  service  applying 
for  any  one  position  with  sufficient  ability 
will  be  entitled  to  the  assignment.  All 
bulletins  of  vacancies  will  be  sent  to  all 
offices  shown  in  the  wage  scale,  and  the 
proper  official  will  acknowledge  receipt  of  all 
applications  by  letter  notice,  specifying  the 
successful  applicants,  sending  copy  to  local 
chairman.  Applications  for  such  positions 
must  be  made  within  ten  (10>  days,  assign- 
ments to  be  made  within  three  (3)  days 
thereafter,  and  same  to  be  filled  within 
twenty  (20)   days  from  date  of  bulletin. 

Telegraphers  in  general  office,  Cleveland, 
Ohio,  will  be  advanced  according  to  seniority 
as  vacancies  occur,  and  only  the  last  trick 
advertised.  In  case  of  reduction  of  force 
they  will  be  set  back  in  the  same  order  in 
which  they  entered  the  office,  retaining  sen- 
iority on  the  division  from  which  trans-

cies occur,  application  to  be  made  within

twenty  "(20)    days  after  date  of  bulletin. 

Applications  may  be  made  for  one  or  more 
vacancies.  Those  declining  promotion  to  any 
position  will  not  forfeit  right  to  it  or  any 
other  position  when  va.cancies  occur.  In  the 
event  of  a  reduction  of  force  at  any  tele- 
graph station,  the  telegraphers  at  that  sta- 
tion will  move  back  on  tricks  according  to 
age  in  service,  retaining  their  rate  of  pay, 
and  it  shall  be  the  junior  telegrapher  in 
the  service  who  shall  be  displaced  at  that 
station.  In  increasing  the  force  at  any  sta- 
tion, the  last  trick  will  be  considered  the 
new  position  and  will  be  filled  in  accordance 
with  the  first  paragraph  of  this  rule,  the 
telegraphers  at  such  stations  moving  up  on 
tricks.  Telegraphers  whose  positions  have 
been  abolished  may  take  the  positions  of 
the  youngest  regular  appointed  telegrapher 
and  retain  their  seniority. 

A  list  of  telegraphers  covered  by  this 
schedule  will  be  prepared  semi-annually  on 
the  first  day  of  January  and  July,  or  as 
soon  thereafter  as  practicable,  according  to 
age  in  the  service,  and  four  copies  furnished

be  reinstated  and  paid  for  time  lost.  He 
.«hall  be  notified  as  promptly  as  possible  of

(Effective    August    1st,    1916.) 

Telegraphers  will  only  be  required  to  per- 
form such  work  on  Sundays  as  may  be 
necessary  to  protect  the  company's  interest, 
but  when  required  to  perform  any  service 
on  Sundays  will  be  paid  overtime  pro  rata 
based  on  calendar  month  for  all  such  serv- 
ice in  addition  to  their  regular  wages.  The

or  longer,  and  who  are  required  to  be  on 
duty  daily,  will  be  permitted  to  enjoy  the 
same  privilege  and  under  the  same  condi- 
tions -as  to  vacations  as  employes  in  other 
departments  of  the  service,  namely  twelve 
(12)  working  days  in  any  one  year.  In  the 
case  of  extra  operators,  not  regularly  as- 
signed, where  they  have  worked  75  per 
cent  of  the  time  in  any  one  year,  con- 
.^ideration  will'  be  given  as  to  vacation  al- 
lowance. 

When  a  regularly  assigned  telegrapher  is 
relieved  for  a  period  of  one  (1)  week  or 
more,  the  next  ranking  telegrapher  in  the 
office  affected  will  be  entitled  to  fill  the 
position  during  such  absence,  provided  such 
changes  can  be  made  within  the  hours  of 
service  law,  but  will  not  be  entitled  to  any 
overtime  or  other  allowance  for  doubling  in 
order  to  make  such  changes.  This  does 
not  apply  to  relief  of  agents,  except  where

able. 

RULE  VI. 

Telegraphers  acting  as  witnesses,  or  at- 
tending court  under  instruction  from  any 
official  of  the  company,  will  be  allowed  their 
expenses  and  the  actual  time  which  would 
have  been  earned  by  them  if  on  duty.  If 
.such  attendance  is  outside  of  regularly  as- 
signed hours,  actual  time  at  overtime  rate 
will  be  allowed;  and  all  mileage  and  other 
fees  earned  by  such  attendance  shall  be  re- 
mitted  to   the    company. 

RULE  VII. 

At  stations  where  one  telegrapher  is  em- 
ployed in  24  hours.  eleven  consecutive 
hours  commencing  between  6:00  and  8:00 
a.  m.  or  6:00  and  8:00  p.  m.,  including  meal 
hour,   will   constitute  a  day's  work. 

In  two-i.trick  offices  nine  (9)  consecutive 
hours,  including  meal  hour,  shall  constitute 
a  day's  work.  In  three  (3)  or  more  trick 
offices,  eight  (8)  consecutive  hours  without 
any  right  of  meal  time  shall  constitute  a 
day's   work.

hour  shall  be  between  11:30  and  1:30,  day 
or  night.  If  not  relieved  sixty  (60)  con- 
secutive minutes  within  the  time  specified, 
one  hour  overtime  will  be  allowed.  "When

will  be  allowed  for  lunch  at  first  oppor- 
tunity. Time  for  meals  on  tricks  of  eight 
(8>  hours  or  less  will  be  granted  when  it  can 
be  done  without  detriment  to  the  service. 
Dispatcher  will  advise  telegrapher  when  al- 
lowing him  to  go,  how  long  he  may  be  out, 
and  if  this  is  not  done,  time  will  be  one 
hour. 

Agents  required  to  perform  any  service 
after  expiration  of  regular  assigned  hours 
will  be  allowed  overtime  computed  as  per 
Rule  XIV. 

RULE  VIII. 

Telegraphers  employed  at  stations  will  be 
required  to  do  a  reasonable  amount  of  sta- 
tion work  when  it  does  not  interfere  with 
their  telegraph  duties,  and  any  telegrapher 
considering  himself  overworked  may  com- 
plain to  the  superintendent  and,  if  com- 
plaint is  well  founded,  relief  will  be 
granted. 

RULE  IX. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  required  to  at- 
tend switch  lamps  or  scrub  depots,  oflSces 
or  outbuildings  where  there  are  other  em- 
ployes available  for  this  duty.  They  will 
not  be  required  to  clean  snow  from  station 
platforms. 

At  points  where  telegraphers  are  required 
to  handle  switch  lamps,  street  lamps  or  rail- 
road crossing  lamps,  the  telegrapher  having 
charge  of  same  will  be  allowed  additional 
compensation  at  the  rate  of  fifty  cents  per 
month  for  each  lamp,  with  a  minimum  of 
one   dollar  per  montia  for  such  work. 

At  points  where  telegraphers  are  re- 
quired to  handle  crossing  gates,  each  teleg-

ditional compensation  of  five  dollars  ($5.00) 
per  month   for*  such  work. 

RULE   X. 

Telegraphers  working  extra  will  receive 
the  same  compensation  as  applies  to  the 
position  they  fill,  and  when  deadheading  by 
order  of  proper  official  to  working  points, 
will  be  allowed  full  pay  for  actual  time  con- 
sumed on  train  going  and  returning,  the 
basis  for  such  pay  being  the  salary  of  the 
employes    relieved.

In  settlement  of  matters  in  controversy 
between  the  New  York,  Susauehanna  & 
Western  R.  R.,  and  the  Wilkesbarre  &  East- 
ern R.  R.,  and  their  employes  designated  in 
Article  I  of  this  agreement,  and  the  attached 
wage  scale,  which  have  been  submitted  to 
mediation,  the  following  agreement  has  been 
reached  between  the  above-named  com- 
panies and  the  committees  representing  their 
above-described  employes. 

ARTICLE   I. 

Effective  October  1,  1917,  the  following 
rules  will  govern  the  service  of  employes  re- 
quired to  perform  the  duties  of  a  telegrapher 
(whether  termed  agent,  assistant  agent,  or 
clerk)  and  telephone  operators  connected 
with  the  movement  of  trains;  alsc  such  ex- 
clusive agents  and  others  whose  positions 
are  included  in  the  wage  scale. 


ARTICLE   II. 

When  new  positions  are  created,  the  com- 
pensation therefor  will  be  fixed  in  conformity 
with   that  paid  for  similar  positions. 

In  the  event  that  telephoners  are  substi- 
tuted for  telegraphers  as  specified  in  this 
agreement,  the  same  rules  and  compensa- 
tion will  apply  to  them. 


ARTICLE  III. 

Employes  suspended  or  dismissed,  may 
refer  their  case  by  written  statement  to  the 
superintendent;  within  ten  days,  if  possible, 
after  the  receipt  of  said  statement,  the  case 
will  have  a  thorough  investigation  and  a 
decision  will  be  given.  Employes  involved 
are  allowed  to  choose  one  or  more  employes 
in  their  class  of  service  in  good  standing 
to  represent  them  at  the  investigation,  and 
may  be  present  and  hear  all  the  evidence 
in  the  case.  "WTien  the  result  of  the  investi- 
gation is  unsatisfactory,  and  the  facts 
justify,  the  right  to  appeal  is  conceded.  When 
found  blameless,  the  employe  shall  be  rein- 
stated and  receive  full  pay  for  the  time 
lost. 

ARTICLE   n^ 

All  employes  are  in  line  for  promotion, 
advancement  depending  upon  faithful  dis- 
charge of  duties  and  capacity  for  increased 
responsibility.  Where  ability  and  conduct

are  created  they  will  be  promptly  advertised 
by  "23"  message,  rates  of  pay  and  hours  of 
service  being  specified  in  the  advertisement. 
When  it  is  impractical  to  send  these  notices 
by  wire,  they  will  be  sent  by  train  mail.     It 


will  be  the  practice  to  fill  such  vacancies  by 
the  promotion  of  employes  in  the  telegraph 
and  telephone  service  when  the  qualifica- 
tiaps  of  such  employes  will  permit.  This 
rule  will  apply  to  copiers  and  telegraphers 
in  superintendent's  office. 

Employes  are  always  at  liberty  to  apply 
for  any  position  in  the  service  for  which 
they  consider  themselves  qualified  and  their 
applications  will  be  given  due  consideration 
when  vacancies  occur.  The  right  to  reject 
any  applicant  who  may  be  considered  un- 
suited  for  the  position  in  question  is  re- 
served.    ^ 

Positions  known  to  be  temporarily  vacant 
thirty  days  or  more,  or  that  will  remain 
vacant  for  an  indefinite  period  after  thirty 
days;  temporary  vacancy,  shall  be  given  to 
the  oldest  eligible  and  qualified  applicant 
for  same,  provided  such  temporary  assign- 
ment can  be  made  without  impairing  the 
service.  No  pay  for  deadheading  will  be 
allowed  in  filling  such  temporary  vacancies, 

A  statement  showing  location,  position, 
rates  of  pay  and  hours  of  service  for  adver- 
tisable  positions  will  be  prepared  and  a  copy 
submitted  to  each  ofllce  on  the  division,  to- 
gether with  a  copy  of  these  rules. 


ARTICLE  VI. 

Any  employe  declining  to  accept  promotion 
does  not  forfeit  his  rights  to  the  same  or  any 
other  position  he  may  be  entitled  to  under 
seniority  when  a  vacancy  occurs,  or  a  new 
position  is  created. 


ARTICLE  VII. 

A  vacancy  will  be  filled  within  ten  days 
after  it  occurs  by  the  appointment  of  the 
man  entitled  to  it,  five  days  being  allowed

advertised. 

ARTICLE  VIIL

Article  VII,  finding  it  Is  unsuitable,  may  re- 
sume his  former  position  within  ten  day.s 
after  he  vacated  the  same.  After  the  ex- 
piration of  ten  days,  he  will  take  his  place

rights  intact.

ticle VII,  finding  it  unsuitable,  may,  within

raphers are  employed,  exclusively  for  tele- 
graph service,  when  service  will  permit,  ten 
consecutive  hours,  including  meal  hours,  will

Seniority  will  be  the  rule  of  promotion  in 
the  station,  tower  and  telegraph  service 
when  merited  by  faithful  discharge  of  duty, 
and  when  the  employe  has  the  experience, 
and  has  shown  the  capacity  for  increased 
responsibility. 

The  same  rule  will"  apply  when  station 
force  is   reduced  or  transferred.

as  agent,   operator  or  towerman. 

ARTICLE  III. 
At  stations  where  the  agent  is  not  re- 
quired to  be  an  operator,  the  selection  of 
agent  may  be  governed  by  local  conditions. 
Due  consideration,  however,  will  be  given  to 
questions  of  seniority,  other  qualifications 
permitting,   in  filling  any  position. 

ARTICLE  IV. 
An  agent  or  operator,  when  employed  or 
promoted,  will  be  required  to  pass  an  ex- 
ainination  on  the  books  of  rules,  time  table,

tion, and  to  have  a  certificate  from  one  of 
the  company's  medical  examiners  to  the  ef- 
fect that  he  has  no  defects  of  hearing  or  eye- 
sight, or  other  physical  disability,  which 
will  incapacitate  him  from  such  service.

The  superintendent  will  give  seven  days' 
notice  of  all  vacancies  in  the  positions  of 
agents,  operators  or  towermen  (including

forfeit   any   rights   of   seniority.

cause   or   discharged    without    a   hearing    or 
investigation,  which  will  be  given  promptly. 


Employes,  when  discharged  or  suspended, 
will  receive  due  notice  to  that  effect  within 
a  reasonable  time  after  investigation. 

Employes,  regularly  relieved  from  duty  by 
the  superintendent,  will  not  be  held  re- 
sponsible  during   their   absence.

pended, and  afterward  found  blameless,  will 
receive    full   pay   for   time    lost. 

ARTICLE  VII. 

Employes  will  be  granted  leave  of  absence 
on  their  request  as  soon  as  practicable, 
whenever  they  wish  to  appeal  to  any  offlcer 
of   the   company. 

The  right  to  appeal  to  any  officer  is  ac- 
corded to  all  employes. 

Leave  of  absence  will  be  limited  to  sixty 
days,  except  in  case  of  sickness  or  other 
disability,  but  may  be  extended  at  the  dis- 
cretion   of   the    superintendent.

enter  the  service  of  another  railroad  com- 
pany.

apartments,  will  be  seventy  dollars  ($70.00)

will  be  given,  and  the  rates  will  conform  to 
rates  paid  at  similar  positions  in  the  serv- 
ice.

at  any  point,  the  men  holding  the  present 
positions  will  have  preference,  day  man  hav-

operators,  the  hours  for  duty  will  be  ar- 
ranged so  as  not  to  require  the  services  of 
any  one  of  them  more  than  nine  consecutive 
hours. 

At  stations  where  only  one  man  is  em- 
ployed, the  monthly  rates  have  been  made 
to  cover  the  regular  service  as  established 
by  the  train  schedule  which  the  employe  is 
required  to  attend,  but  when  such  train 
schedule  extends  over  more  than  twelve 
hours,  he  will  be  allowed  at  the  rate  of

The  within  rules  and  rates  of  pay  of 
agents  and  operators,  as  shown  in  the  col- 
umn of  rates,  have  been  agreed  upon  by  the 
railway  company  and  a  committee  of  its 
employes. 

The  rates  will  take  effect  on  June  1,  1917, 
and  win  continue  in  force  until  June  1,  1918,

OFFICE  OF  GENERAL  MANAGER. 


Roanoke,  Va.,  May  1st,   1917. 

Effective  May  1st,  1917,  the  following  rates 
of  pay  and  regulations  for  telegraphers  will 
govern : 

When  additional  telegraph  positions  are 
created,  compensation  will  be  fixed  in  con- 
formity with   positions   of  the   same   class. 

No  reduction  from  present  raets  of  pay 
nor  increase  of  hours  will  be  made,  except 
when  changed  conditions  make  it  neces- 
sary, and  ten  (10)  days'  notice  will  be  given 
telegraphers    affected. 

ARTICLE    r. 

Employes  required  to  perform  telegraph 
service  of  any  character  or  duration,  agent- 
telegraphers,  telephoners,  agent-telephoners, 
whose  duties  Include  the   handling  of  train 


orders  or  the  blocking  of  trains  by  tele- 
phone, and  other  employes  included  in 
this  schedule  of  wages,  will  be  considered 
telegraphers  within  the  meaning  of  this 
agreement,  irrespective  of  title  by  which 
designated  or  character  of  service  performed. 

A-RTICLE   II. 

Telegraphers  are  in  line  of  promotion, 
their  advancement  depending  upon  faith- 
ful discharge  of  duty  and  their  capacity 
for  increased  respori.<^ibility.  When  ability 
and  character  permit,  seniority  will  have 
preference.  The  proper  official  of  the  rail- 
way company  will  determine  the  fitness  of 
telegraphers    for    advancement. 

When  a  vacancy  occurs,  or  a  new  posi- 
tion is  created,   on  a  superintendent's  divi- 


472 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


sion.  telegraphers  will  be  notified,  announc- 
ing location  and  rate  of  pay,  and  they  shall 
make  application  for  the  position  within 
ten  (10>  days  after  notification,  and  such 
position  will  be  permanently  filled  at  the 
expiration    of    twenty    (20)    days. 

A  telegrapher  shall  not  be  eligible  to  a 
position  vacated  by  him  until  same  shall 
have  been  advertised  the  second  time,  un- 
less there  are  no  other  applicants. 

Seniority  will  be  affected  when  vacancies 
occur,  new  positions  are  created,  or  a  posi- 
tion abolished.  When  a  position  is  abol- 
ished, the  telegrapher  affected  may  displace 
any  junior  telegrapher  who  has  not  been 
in  the  service  five  (5)  yeafs,  or  go  on  the 
extra  list,  retaining  his  seniority.  In  the 
event  there  are  no  telegraphers  in  service 
younger  than  five  (5)  years,  the  youngest 
telegrapher    may    be    displaced. 

The  trading  of  positions  will  not  be  per- 
mitted. 

Employes  from  the  telegraph  service  filling 
the  position  of  cashier,  ticket  seller,  or 
baggage  agent,  will  retain  their  seniority 
rights,  which  may  be  asserted  only  by  filing 
application   for   vacancies   or  new   positions. 

If  a  telegrapher  assigned  to  a  position 
becomes  incapacitated  or  unable, to  fill  the 
position,  he  will  be  assigned  to  the  extra 
list   and   will   retain   his   seniority. 

Seniority  lists  of  telegraphers  will  be 
furnished  by  the  superintendent  to  an  em- 
ploye designated  by  the  telegraphers  in 
January   and   July    of   each    year. 

ARTICLE   III. 

All  vacancies  occurring  in  division  offices, 
except  the  first,  second  and  third  tricks,  will 
be  advertised.  When  a  telegrapher  is  as- 
signed to  the  fourth  trick,  he  will  be  in 
line  of  promotion  to  the  third  trick  when 
vacant,  advancing  to  the  first  trick  as 
vacancies  occur,  and  when  competent  will 
be  entitled  to  the  first  vacancy  in  the  dis- 
patching  force. 

In  reduction  of  force  in  division  offices, 
the  men  will  be  set  back  in  regular  order 
through  the  first  to  the  last  trick,  respec- 
tively. This  includes  dispatcher,  but  does 
not  affect  managers  of  division  offices. 

Telegraphers  in  general  office,  Roanoke, 
Virginia,  will  be  advanced  as  vacancies 
occur,  and  only  the  last  trick  advertised. 
The  senior  man  in  office  will  be  given 
preference  in  the  assignment  of  hours  as 
vacancies  occur,  when  practicable,  but  this 
is  not  to  apply  to  temporary  vacancies.  In 
arranging  temporary  hours  made  vacant  by 
absence  of  regular  men,  Sundays  or  holi- 
days, preference  will  be  given  the  oldest 
men  so  far  as  practicable,  the  same  to  be 
determined  by  the  manager.  In  case  of  re- 
duction of  force,  they  will  be  set  back 
in  the  same  order  in  which  they  entered 
the  office,  retaining  seniority  on  the  divi- 
sion from  which  drawn.  "Vacancies  in  this 
office   will   be   advertised  on   all   divisions. 

ARTICLE  IV. 
When  a  telegrapher  is  relieved  for  a 
period  of  one  week  or  more,  the  next  rank- 
ing telegrapher  in  the  office  affected,  if 
competent  and  sufficiently  bonded,  will  be 
entitled  to  fill  the  position  during  such 
absence,    but   will   not    be    entitled    to    over- 


time for  doubling  through  on  this  account. 
This  does  not  apply  to  the  relief  of  agents, 
except  when  the  service  of  a  regular  relief 
agent    is    not    available.  » 

When  an  extra  telegrapher  relieves  a 
regular  telegrapher,  he  will  fill  the  posi- 
tion until  the  regular  telegrapher  resumes 
duty,  or  the  position  is  advertised  and  filled. 
Seniority  will  apply  to  extra  men  as  far  as 
practica-ble  in  the  assignment  of  such  work 
on    their    respective     divisions. 

ARTICLE    V. 

Trick  train  dispatchers  will  be  in  line 
of  promotion,  their  seniority  to  date  from 
the  time  actual  duty  as  a  train  dispatcher 
begins.  The  oldest  dispatcher  in  the  serv- 
ice will  be  given  preference  in  the  assign- 
ment of  tricks  on  his  superintendent's  divi- 
sion as  vacancies  occur,  or  when  forces  are 
reduced. 

ARTICLE   VI. 

Eight  (S>  consecutive  hours,  with  neces- 
sary time  for  making  transfers,  will  con- 
.stitute  a  day's  work  for  trick  train  dis- 
patchers. 

When  trick  train  dispatchers  are  re- 
quired to  go  over  their  respective  district 
or  attend  court  in  behalf  of  the  company, 
they  will  receive  regular  pay  and  actual 
expenses. 

ARTICLE  VII. 

At  offices  where  two  or  three  tricks  are 
worked,  eight  (8)  consecutive  hours  and  time 
to  make  transfer  will  constitute  a  day's 
work. 

At  offices  where  more  than  three  tricks 
are  worked,  eight  (8)  hoiws  will  constitute 
a  day's  work,  the  manager  of  said  office 
to  determine  the  hours.  Should  a  trick 
be  split,  it  shall  be  done  but  once,  and  then 
at  meal  hour,  and  not  to  exceed  one  hour. 

At  offices  where  one  trick  is  worked,  nine 
(9>  consecutive  hours  or  less,  including  one 
hour  for  meals,  will  constitute  a  day's  work. 

Telegraphers  working  more  than  eight  (8) 
hours  will  be  granted  not  less  than  one 
hour  for  meals  between  6:00  a.  m.  and  9:00 
a.  m.,  11:00  a.  m.  and  2:00  p.  m.,  5:00  p.  m. 
and  8:00  p.  m.,  and  11:00  p.  m.  and  2:00 
a.  m.  When  this  cannot  be  given,  one  hour 
overtime    will    be    allowed. 

When  telegraphers  are  required  to  re- 
main on  duty  longer  than  their  regular 
hours,  they  will  be  paid  overtime  until  re- 
lieved. 

When  telegraphers  are  required  to  re- 
turn after  the  expiration  of  regular  hours, 
they  will  remain  on  duty  until  finally  re- 
lieved, and  will  be  paid  65  cents  for.  the 
first  hour  or  less,  and  regular  overtime  rates 
thereafter. 

ARTICLE  VIII. 

Overtime  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  40 
cents  per  hour,  except  where  the  regular 
rate  of  pay  exceeds  the  overtime  rate,  in 
which  case  overtime  will  be  paid  pro  rata. 

In  computing  overtime,  thirty  (30)  minute."? 
or  less  will  not  be  counted;  thirty-one  (31) 
minutes  to  sixty  (60)  minutes  will  be  counted 
one    hour,    and    so    on.

blanks  for  reporting  overtime.  Overtime

hours.

ARTICLE   IX. 
All      telegraphers    will      be    excused    from 
Sunday    duty    so    far    as    possible,    and      no 
deduction    shall    be    made    from    their    pay 
on   that   account. 

ARTICLE   X. 

Telegraphers  required  to  perform  Sun-

AVERY  TURNER  and  G.  H.  SCHLEYER,  Receivers 


The  following  regulations  and  wage  scale 
will  govern  station  employes  upon  these 
lines  (above  named),  effective  March  1st, 
1914: 

Telegraphers  held  on  duty  in  the  per- 
formance of  any  service  required  by  the 
company  longer  than  the  number  of  hours 
constituting  a  day's  work  will  be  allowed 
overtime  therefor.  Overtime  shall  be  com- 
puted pro  rata  on  stated  salary,  but  in  no 
case  less  than  35  cents  per  hour.  Telegra- 
phers called  to  service  or  directed  to  return 
to  office  for  any  reason  outside  of  work 
hours,  shall  receive  50  cents  for  the  call 
or  return  and  first  hour's  service,  and  regu- 
lar overtime  thereafter;  except  when  re- 
quired for  such  service  within  one  hour 
either  before  or  after  regular  hours,  they 
shall  receive  35  cents  for  same  and  first 
hour's  service  and  regular  overtime  there- 
after. Overtime  tickets  will  be  rendered 
for  the  actual  time  worked  as  above,  within 
forty-eight  hours  from  the  time  service  is 
performed.  If,  for  any  reason,  such  over- 
time is  not  allowed,  telegrapher  will  be  so 
advised    w^ithin    five    days,    stating    reason. 

When  ordered  to  attend  court,  telegra- 
phers will  be  allowed  for  time  lost,  and.  If 
away  from  home  station,  will  be  allowed 
necessary  expenses,  the  company  being  en- 
titled  to   their  mileage   and   witness   fees. 

Telegraphers  performing  service  at  wrecks, 
washouts,  or  other'  temporary  offices,  will 
receive  $2.00  per  day  and  necessary  ex- 
penses and  35  cents  per  hour  overtime. 
When  telegraphers  are  called  for  such  serv- 
ice while  on  duty,  the  above  compensation 
will  cover  all  regular  duties  performed  on 
the    same    day. 

Regularly  assigned  telegraphers  required 
to  leave  their  home  stations  to  do  relief 
work,  shall,  if  the  rate  of  pay  for  that  serv- 
ice is  higher  than  his  regular  rate,  re- 
ceive the  higher  rate,  and  in  any  event 
shall  suffer  no  loss  in  wages,  and  in  addi- 
tion .shall  receive  50  cents  per  day  for 
expenses.     If   called   for   such   service   while 


on  duty  the  pay  for  that  day's  work  shall 
be  at  the  higher  rate. 

When  an  employe  transfers  from  oite  sta- 
tion to  another  station  on  these  lines  with 
the  authority  of  proper  official,  he  will  re- 
ceive free  transportation  for  himself,  family 
and  household  goods,  if  not  prohibited  by 
law. 

To  obtain  promotion,  intelligent  and  cour- 
teous discharge  of  duty  and  capacity  for 
greater  responsibility  will  govern.  When 
these  are  sufficient,  telegrraphers  longest  in 
continuous  service  will  liave  preference  in 
filling  of  vacancies  and  newly  created  posi- 
tions. 

In  event  a  telegrapher  feels  he  has  been 
discriminated  against  he  shall  have  the 
right  to  appeal  the  case  to  the  assistant 
superintendent. 

When  vacancies  occur  or  new  positions 
are  created,  telegraphers  will  be  notified 
within  five  days  by  bulletin  to  be  posted 
in  offices.  Telegraphers  will  be  given  five 
days  from  date  of  such  notice  in  which  to 
make  application  for  such  positions. 

Telegraphers  will  not  TDe  suspended,  given 
demerit  marks  or  dismissed  from  the  com- 
pany's service,  without  just  cause.  In  case 
of  suspension  or  dismissal,  if  any  teleg- 
rapher thinks  his  sentence  unjust,  he  will 
have  the  right,  within  ten  days,  to  refer 
his  case  by  written  statement  to  assistant 
superintendent.  Within  ten  days  of  the  re- 
ceipt of  the  notice  his  case  shall  have  a 
thorough  investigation  by  the  proper  officer 
of  the  company,  at  which  time  he  may  be 
present,  if  he  so  desires,  and  also  be  repre- 
sented by  any  disinterested  employe  of  his 
choice.  In  case  he  is  not  satisfied  with  the 
result  of  such  investigation,  he  shall  have  the 
right  to  appeal  to  the  general  manager.  In 
case  of  intoxication  or  insubordination,  dis- 
mis.«al  will  follow  without  hearing,  as  above 
provided  for.  In  case  suspension  or  dis- 
missal is  found  to  be  xmjust,  he  will  be 
reinstated  and  paid  for  full  time  lost. 

Employes  leaving  the  service  of  the  com- 
pany will   receive  a  clearance   card,   stating 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales, 


479 


term  of  service,  capacity  in  which  employed, 
and  whether  leaving  the  service  voluntarily 
or  otherwise.  If  discharged,  cause  of  dis- 
missal  will   be   shown. 

So  far  as  the  business  will  permit,  teleg- 
raphers will  be  excused  Sundays  without  re- 
duction of  pay.  At  stations  where  the  agent, 
is  also  telegrapher  and  where  no  other  teleg- 
raphers are  employed,  he  will  be  excused 
from  service  on  Sunday,  except  that  he  will 
be  required  to  attend  passenger  trains  that 
receive  and  discharge  passengers  or  mail  at 
his  station,  unless  other  force  at  that  sta- 
tion can  be  so  arranged  as  to  partly  or  en- 
tirely relieve  him  from  meeting  passenger 
trains  on  Sunday. 

Where  a  station  that  has  been  closed  is 
reopened,  the  salary  will  be  the  same  as  pro- 
vided in  schedule  at  time  of  closing.  When 
telegraphers  are  added  to  the  force  the  sal- 
ary paid  will  not  be  less  than  the  lowest 
salary  shown  in  wage  scale  in  that  office  if 
two  or  more  telegraphers  are  already  em- 
ployed there,  except  agent  telegrapher  in 
opening  new  stations. 

Any  telegrapher  feeling  himself  competent 
to  handle  agencies  other  than  those  enu- 
inerated  in  this  schedule  is  invited  as  well 
as  other  employes,  to  make  application  for 
vacancies  at  those  stations.

(RULES   AND   WAGE    SCALE    EFFECTIVE    JANUARY    1,    1918.) 


*See  rulings  in  back  of  schedule. 

RULE  I. 
Telegraphers  Defined. 

(a)  The  term  "telegraphers"  as  used  in 
this  schedule  means  employes  assigrned  by 
proper  authority  to  regular  telegraph  and 
telephone  duties,  to  all  other  positions  named 
in  the  wage  scale  and  to  such  additional 
positions  as  may  be  agreed  upon  from  time 
to  time. 

(b)  The  company  will  continue  to  promote 
telegraphers  to  positions  of  train  dispatchers 
and  exclusive  agents  as  far  as  practicable 
and  in  line  with  th&  good  of  the  service. 

RULE   II. 

Seniority  Rights,   Promotions,  Transfers  and 

Relay  Offices  Defined. 

(a)  Telegraphers'  seniority  will  rank  from 
the  date  of  their  last  employment  on  their 
respective  divisions,  except  as  provided  in 
Clause  t-.3   and  f-4*. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  permitted  to 
displace,  by  exercising  their  seniority  rights, 
the  present  incumbetits  as  of  September  1, 


1916,  of  exclusive  agency  and  (CS)  positions 
which  are  included  in  the  schedule. 

Incumbents  of  exclusive  agency  and  (CS) 
positions  not  hitherto  in  the  schedule  will 
bte  placed  on  the  seniority  list  as  of  Septem- 
ber 1,  1916,  but  with  reference  to  each  other 
they  will  take  precedence  in  the  order  in 
which  they  were  employed. 

In  making  promotions,  where  ability  is 
sufficient,  seniority  will  prevail — manage-

SCHEDULE    RULINGS'    IN    CONNECTION 
■       WITH   THE   DIFFERENT   RULES. 

RULE  2-a. 

Telegraphers'  seniority  will  date  from  the 
time  they  actually  begin  to  work;  that  is, 
from  the  time  they  begin  to  draw  pay  on 
their  respective  divisions,  except  ,that 
should  there  be  two  or  more  telegrapliers 
employed  on  the  same  day^^their  respective 
scnjority  rights  will  be  decided  at  the  time 
by  the  chief  dispatcher,  based  on  the  cir- 
cumstances in  connection  with  their  em- 
ployment, and  the  telegraphers  concerned 
advised. 

RULE  2-b. 

In  case  where  a  telegrapher  is  assigned 
to  other  duties  temporarily,  or  is  granted 
a  leave  of  absence,  the  position  thus  left 
will   not    be   considered   vacant   and   will   not

be  bulletined,  but  will  continue  to  belong 
to  the  regular  telegrapher  during  his  tem- 
porary- assignment  or  leave  of  absence  and 
his  position  will  be  filled  from  the  extra 
list.  In  such  cases  there  will  be  no  ob- 
jection to  advancing  temporarily  the  other 
telegraphers  at  that  office.  For  example, 
the  first  trick  telegrapher  at  Allard  is 
needed  temporarily  as  a  dispatcher  or  an 
exclusive  agent,  or  he  is  granted  a  leave 
ojf  absence;  -in  either  case  the  first  trick  at 
Allard  will  not  be  considered  vacant,  but 
the  second  trick  telegrapher  may,  at  the 
discretion  of  the  chief  dispatcher,  be  ad- 
vanced to  the  first  trick,  the  third  trick 
advanced  to  the  second  trick  and  the  extra 
telegrapher  required  to  work  the  third 
trick  until  the  regular  telegrapher  returns. 
Telegi-aphers  returning  from  temporary  as- 
signments or  leaves  of  absence  will  resume 
their  regular  positions.  Unless  telegraphers 
who  are  temporarily  promoted  to  positions 
outside  of  the  schedule  return  to  their 
former  positions  within  six  (6)  months,  and 
those  who  are  granted  leaves  of  absence 
return  within  three  (3)  months,  as  provided

within    seven    (7)    days. 

(Chief  Dispatcher.) 

Bulletin   No.  2. 

There  is  a  vacancy  in  the  position  of

within    seven    (7)    days. 

Bulletin  No.  1,  third  trick  at  Allard, 
assigned  to   J.   C.   Smith. 

(Chief  Dispatcher.) 

RULE  2-f-l  AND  k. 

When  telegraph  offices  are  opened  tem- 
porarily, due  to  the  opening  of  gravel  pits, 
ice  fields,  temporary  increase  in  business, 
or  other  causes,  the  provisions  in  the  rules 
will  not  apply,  unless  such  offices  are  main- 
tained .for  a  period  of  more  than  three  (3) 
months,  when  the  positions  will  be  bulle- 
tined. 

RULE    2-f-2. 

In  the  offices  listed  in  Rule  2,  clause  (e), 
•the  hours  will  be  specified  for  all  tricks,  the 
tricks  numbered,  and,  if  any  changes  are 
made  in  the  hours  of  the  tricks,  the  posi- 
tions so  changed  will  be  considered  closed 
and  the  new  assignments  will  be  considered 
new  positions  and  will  be  bulletined  only  in 
the  office  where  such  changes  occur. 
Telegraphers  whose  hours  are  changed,  or 
positions    discontinued,    will    have    the    right 


to  exercise  their  seniority  only  in  the  office 
where  located  and  only  the  youngest  man, 
when  displaced,  will  have  the  right  to  exer- 
cise his  seniority  in  an  office  other  than 
the  one  in  which  he  is  located.  It  is  under- 
stood that  should  ^^y  telegrapher  be  dis- 
placed through  the  operation  of  the  senior- 
ity rights  of  a  telegrapher  from  another  re- 
lay office,  the  telegrapher  displaced,  or 
other  telegraphers  that  may  be  displaced, 
will  have  the  right  to  exercise  their  senior- 
ity rights  in  any  relay  office. 

RULE  2-X-Q  AND  7. 
Telegraphers,  except  in  relay  offices,  who 
have  been  promoted  to  positions  outside  the 
schedule  or  who  are  granted  leaves  of  ab- 
sonce  must  leave  their  addresses  with  the 
chief  dispatcher,  and  the  chief  dispatcher 
will,  as  far  as  possible,  forward  bulletins 
to  telegraphers  who  are  away,  and  such 
telegraphers  will  exercise  their  rights  if 
they  so  desire,  the  same  as  if  they  were 
in  regular  service.  Telegraphers  in  relay 
offices  who  have  been  promoted  to  positions 
outside  the  schedule,  or  who  are  granted 
leaves  of  absence,  will  leave  their  addresses 
with  both  the  manager  of  the  office  in 
which  they  are  employed  and  the  superin- 
tendent of  telegraph.  In  cases,  however, 
where  the  telegraphers  cannot  be  reached, 
this  will  not  prevent  them  from  exercising 
their  rights  after  they  return   to  service. 

RULE    5. 

1.  Telegraphers  in  main  line  terminal 
yards  will  not  be  required  to  weigh  cars, 
except  that  in  emergencies  such  duties  may 
be   required    oi   telegraphers    temporarily. 

2.  Telegraphers  in  main  line  terminal 
yards  will  not  be  required  to  card  cars, 
look  after  ice  boxes  and  heaters  in  refrig- 
erator cars  and  check  yards. 

RULE  7-a. 
In  case  the  arriving  time  of  a  train  as 
shown  on  the  time  card  is  within  the  first 
twenty-nine  (29)  minutes  after  the  teleg- 
rapher's regular  assigned  hours,  the  teleg- 
rapher will  be  paid  overtime  if  he  ia  re- 
quired to  meet  the  train.  In  case  a  train 
is  scheduled  to  arrive  within  the  teleg- 
rapher's assigned  hours  and  is  late,  over- 
time will  be  paid  as  provided  in  the  rules, 
less  than  thirty  (30)  minutes  being  neg- 
lected and  thirty  (30)  minutes  and  less  than 
one   hour   being   considered   an   hour. 

RULE  8-b. 
It    is    understood    that    in    no    case    will 
telegraphers    be    allowed    to    waive    the    one 
dollar  ($1.00)  per  day  extra  when  entitled  to 
this  extra  compensation. 

RULE  9. 
"V^Tien  offices  are  closed  and  positions  dis- 
continued, the  company  will  pay  for  the 
time  lost  in  making  the  transfers  necessary 
on  account  of  the  telegraphers  exercising 
their  seniority  rights  and  electing  to  take 
positions  held  by  telegraphers  their  juniors 
in  service.  This  ruling  will  apply  to  all 
telegraphers  affected  by  the  discontinuance 
of  a  position.  Any  transfers  made  for  the 
accommodation  of  the  telegraphers  will,  ac- 
cording to  the  present  rule,  be  made  with- 
out expense  to  the  company.

telegraph  offices.  Trainmen  will  not  be  re- 
quired to  take  orders  over  the  telephone 
except  in  case  of  necessity  to  avoid  unrea- 
sonable delay  that  could  not  be  anticipated 
by  dispatcher.  Where  telegraphers  are  on 
duty  any  portion  of  the  day  or  night,  train 
and  engine  men  will  be  required  to  call  such 
telegraphers,  if  available,  for  emergency 
service. 


2.  It  is  understood  that  the  company 
agrees  to  withhold  its  consent  to  the  prac- 
tice of  trading  of  tricke  except  temporarily 
in  cases  of  emergencies. 

3.  Where  the  handling  of  United  States 
mail  becomes  burdensome  to  a  telegrapher, 
he  may  take  the  matter  up  with  the  proper 
official  and  a  prompt  investigation  will  be 
held  at  that  station,  at  which  the  telegrapher 
may  have  a  co- employe  of  his  choice  pres- 
ent, and  if  the  complaint  is  well  founded

1.  Any  employe  required  to  telegraph  or 
telephone  in  connection  with  train  service  in 
such  positions  as  are  shown  in  the  following 
wage  scale  becomes  a  party  to  this  agree- 
ment. New  positions  similar  to  those  in  the 
following  schedule  will  be  added  to  it. 

2.  A  list  of  telegraphers  in  actual  service 
.shall  be  compiled  in  order  of  seniority,  and  a 
copy  of  same  shall  be  furnished  each  tele- 
graph office.  This  list  shall  be  revised  semi- 
annually. 

3.  Telegraphers,  by  accepting  employment 
in  other  branches  of  the  service,  shall  not 
forfeit  their  seniority,  but  may  assert  it  only 
by  filing  applications  for  vacancies  or  new 
positions    within    six    months. 

4.  Telegraphers  who  have  been  in  the 
service  of  the  company  two  years  or  more, 
upon  due  notice  to  the  superintendent  of 
telegraph,  may  be  given  leave  of  absence  for 
not  to  exceed  ninety  days  at  any  one  time, 
and  not  more  than-a  total  of  six  months  in 
two  years,  and  at  the  end  of  period  of  leave 
or  before,  If  desired,  upon  making  applica- 
tion to  the  proper  officer,  may  resume  their 
employment  at  their  regular  positions  with- 
out   losing    their    seniority. 

5.  From  date  of  signing  this  agreement  all 
vacancies  occurring,  new  positions  created 
or  emergency  offices,  shall  be  filled  by  teleg- 
raphers when  they  are  available. 

6.  When  a  vacancy  occurs  or  a  new  posi- 
tion is  established.  It  shall  be  advertised  by 
bulletin  for  seven  (7)  days,  whereupon  it 
.shall  be  given  to  the  man  oldest  in  the  serv- 
ice who  has  the  ability  to  assume  the  duties 
and  who  makes  application,  in  writing, 
within  the  time  specified  for  bulletining.  Ap- 
plicants receiving  advertised  positions  shall 
be  notified  and  placed  within  seven  (7)  days, 
or  if  not  placed  within  seven  (7)  days,  pay  as 
per  Rule   19   shall   apply. 

7.  When  no  application  is  received  for  a 
vacancy  the  proper  official  will  temporarily 
assign  a  suitable  person  to  the  position, 
who,  if  a  regular  man,  shall  not  receive  less 
than  his  regular  rate  of  pay,  and  when  the 
position  to  which  he  is  temporarily  assigned 
pays  more  than  his  regular  position,  he  shall 
receive  the  regular  rate  at  that  office,  and  in 
addition,  when  kept  away  from  home,  shall 
be  paid  $1.50  per  day  for  expenses. 

8.  A  telegrapher  holding  a  regular  posi- 
tion .and  going  to  any  other  office  to  work 
extra  must,  after  working  in  that  office  three 
(3)  months,  be  permitted  to  resume  duty  at 
his  regular  position  for  one  (1)  month,  and  if 
he  does  not  retvirn  to  his  regular  position  it 
shall  be  declared  vacant  and  be  advertised. 
Telegraphers  so  affected  shall  be  placed  on 
the  extra  list,  and  can  assert  their  seniority 
only  by  filing  applications  for  vacancies  or 
new  positions,  and  cannot  bid  on  the  position 
they  made  vacant  until  it  is  advertised  the 
second  time. 

9.  A  telegrapher  required  to  work  at  any 
other    office    than    tho;    one    to    which    he    Is

higher  rate.  If  required  to  work  at  an  office 
where  he  is  kept  away  from  home,  he  shall 
be  paid  .$1.00  per  day  in  addition  to  the  regu- 
lar rate.  If  not  kept  away  from  home,  he

the  office  to  which  temporarily  assigned. 

10.  Offices  moved  one  mile  or  less  will  not

bility. 

When  the  necessary  qualifications  are 
equal,  seniority  shall  govern  in  the  promotion 
of  employes.  The  proper  official  of  the  com- 
pany shall  determine  the  fitness  for  employ- 
ment and  advancement.  Seniority  shall  be 
reckoned  from  the  last  date  of  entering  the 
service  as  a  telegrapher. 

12.  Telegraphers  shall  not  be  suspended 
or  dismissed  from  the  service  without  just 
cause.  In  case  of  suspension  or  dismissal, 
if  a  telegrapher  thinks  his  sentence  unjust, 
he  shall  have  the  right  within  five  (5)  days 
to  refer  his  case,  by  written  statement,  to 
the  superintendent,  and  within  seven  (7) 
days  of  the  receipt  of  this  statement  his 
case  shall  have  a  thorough  investigation  by 
the  proper  oflEicial  (provided  it  does  not  in- 
terfere with  the  company's  business),  at 
which  he  must  be  present;  and  if  he  so  de- 
.sires,  he  may  be  represented  by  three  em- 
ployes of  the  telegraph  department.  Any 
witness  or  witnesses  who  may  have  per- 
sonal knowledge,  of  the  case  may  also  be 
called  to  testify  at  the  hearing. 

In  case  a  suspension  or  dismissal  Is  found 
to  have  teen  unjust,  the  employe  so  sus- 
pended or  dismissed  shall  be  paid  for  the 
time  lost  by  such  suspension  or  dismissal  at 
the  same  rate  of  pay  he  was  receiving  when 
relieved. 

13.  When  offices  are  closed  or  telegraphers 
are  displaced  by  men  older  in  the  service, 
telegraphers  so  affected  shall  have  the  right 
to  choose  any  other  position  in  accordance 
with  their  seniority,  providing  they  possess 
the  necessary  fitness  and  ability.  Telegra- 
phers dismissed;  or  removed  from  their  regu- 
lar positions,  and  reinstated  as  per  Rule  12. 
mu&t  return  to  the  positions  held  when  dis- 
missed or  removed,  and  all  telegraphers  af- 
fected by  such  reinstatement  will  return  to 
the   position   they   formerly   held.

which  he  is  not  capable  of  holding  shall  not 
be  permitted  to  displace  a  regular  man.

service  for  six  (6)  consecutive  months  and

(EFFECTIVE   AUGUST  15,   1917.) 


RULES. 


1.  Any  station  employes  except  train  dis- 
patchers, agents  at  Quebec,  Levis  and  Sher- 
brooke,  whether  termed  agents,  assistant 
agents,  or  otherwise  performing  telegraph 
duties,   will  be  considered  a  telegrapher. 

2a.  The  right  of  promotion  of  telegrapliers 
as  per  Article  I  shall  extend  over  the  main 
line  and  branches. 

b.  All  promotions  under  this  clause  will 
be  governed  by  merit  and  ability,  of  which 
the  superintendent  shall  be  the  judge.  Any 
applicant  senior  to  the  man  receiving  the 
appointment  may  appeal  from  the  decision 
of  the  superintendent  if  he  considers  him- 
self unfairly  treated.  Where  merit  and 
ability  are  sufficient  the  telegraphei-  longest 
in  the  service  shall  have  the  preference. 

3a.  In  case  of  a  vacancy  occurring,  or  of 
a  new  position  being  created  for  which  teleg- 
raphers are  eligible  under  this  schedule,  it 
will  be  advertised  for  ten  days  by  bulletin 
sent  by  "23"  message  to  all  stations,  during 
which  time  applications  ma>'  be  made. 

Interpretation  to  Rule  3,  Clause  (a):  "Po- 
sition of  assistants  paying  the  minimum  sal- 
ary will  not  be  advertised  or  assigned  to 
any  operator  permanently,  hut  seriior  opeia- 
tor  will  be  given  preference  to  suih  posi- 
iions  when  not  employed  at  more  important 
stations." 

b.  Permanent  appointments  will  be  marie 
within  thirty  days  thereafter.  In  the  event 
of  the  senior  opei-ator  not  accepting  the 
vacancy,  it  may  be  assigned  to  the  next 
senior  applicant  without  further  advertising. 


4.  A  telegrapher  shall  not  be  disciplined 
or  dismissed  without  cause.  Any  case  of 
dismissal  thought  to  be  unjust  may  be  re- 
ferred by  the  telegrapher  in  writing  to  the 
superintendent,  after  which  he  will  be  given 
a  hearing  within  ten  days.  The  aggrieved 
party  may  be  present  at  all  Investigations, 
and  may  be  accompanied  by  a  fellow  em-

case  a  less  amount  than  the  compensation 
of    their    regular    position. 

ARTICLE  VIII.

sation will  be  arranged  in  conformity  with 
positions  of  the  same  class  covered  by  this

thirty   cents   (30c)    for   each   additional  hour. 

RULE  IV. 
Vacancies — Promotion — Seniority. 

WTiere  vacancies  occur,  or  new  positions 
are  created,  they  will  be  bulletined  within 
five  days  to  all  offices  on  the  line  and  will 
be  filled  within  twenty-flve  (25)  days  by 
promotion  of  telegraphers  in  accordance  with 
the   following  conditions: 

First — Fitness   for   position: 

Second — Previous  record  for  faithful 
service; 

Third — Seniority  in  service. 

Other  things  being  equal,  seniority  gov- 
erns. 

Telegraphers  mvist  file  applications  within 
five   (5)   days  of  the  date  of  the  bulletin. 

The  proper  official  will  advise  the  local 
.  chairman  of  all  applications  received  and 
of  the  name  of  the  person  selected. 

If  any  telegrapher  declines  to  accept  pro- 
motion offered  him,  he  will  not  lose  his  sen- 
iority rights  thereby.  Telegraphers  may  ac- 
cept any  position  bulletined  to  which  by 
seniority  rights  under  provisions  of  this  rule 
they  may  be  entitled. 

Telegraphers  desiring  position  in  relay  of- 
fice may  file  application  for  same  with  the 
proper  officer. 

Seniority  rights  will  date  from  the  last 
time  of  entering  the  service,  and  will  ex- 
tend over  both  lines,  also,  relay  office's 
rights  will  extend  over  both  lines. 

Trading  positions  will  not  be  permitted. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  transferred,  and 
after  a  fair  trial  is  found  not  qualified  for 
the  position,  he  will  be  placed  on  the  extra 
list,  but  will  retain  his  seniority. 

When  reducing  force,  the  service  of  the 
youngest  telegrapher  will,  other  things  being 
equal,  be  dispensed  with  first.  Telegraphers 
whose  services  are  so  dispensed  with  will 
retain  their  seniority  on  extra  list  for  three 
months. 

Seniority  will  be  effective  only  when  va- 
cancies occur  or  new  positions  are  created, 
except  that  telegraphers  promoted  or  as- 
signed to  other  duties  or  granted  leave  of 
absence  will  retain  their  seniority  and  may, 
with  the  consent  of  the  management,  resume 
their  former  positions. 

RULE  V. 
New   Positions. 
When  new  positions  are  created  they  will 
be  added  to  the  list  covered  by  Rule  I,  and

ticable employ  telegraphers  from  either  line 
who  are  satisfactory  and  have  a  good  record. 

Vacancies  in  non-telegraphic  positions  in 
station  service  will  be  filled  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable by  telegraphers,  and  vacancies  in 
telegraphic  or  telephonic  positions  may  be 
filled  from  other  station  employes,  according 
to  Rule  IV.. 

RULE  VII. 
Relief  Telegraphers. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  called  upon  to  tem- 
porarily relieve  another  he  will  receive  the 
rate  of  pay  of  the  position  of  the  man  re- 
lieved, but  in  no  case  less  than  his  regular 
pay.  This  rule  is  not  intended  to  apply  to 
relief  agents  and  telegraphers  paid  at  a  reg- 
ular monthly  salary  for  such  work. 

When  vacancies  occur,  or  additional  posi- 
tion of  relief  agent  or  telegrapher  is  created, 
notice  of  same  will  be  furnished  all  teleg- 
raphers in  order  that  they  may  present  their 
applications  for  consideration. 

Assigned  telegraphers  will  not  be  required 
to  do  relief  work  except  in  case  of  emer- 
gency. When  required  to  perform  such  serv- 
ice at  other  than  the  station  to  which  they 
are  assigned,  they  will  suffer  no  loss  of 
compensation  in  changing  from  one  position 
to  another  and  will  receive  the  compensation 
of  the  positions  in  which  they  do  relief  work, 
but  not  less  than  $15.00  per  month  greater 
than  the  compensation  of  their  assigned 
positions.  This  does  not  apply  to  teleg- 
raphers who  voluntarily  accept  relief  work. 

RULE  VIII. 
When  telegraphers  are  transferred  to  ac- 
cept bulletined  positions,  incoming  and  out- 
going telegraphers  will  be  allowed  pay  for 
the  day  on  which  transfer  is  made,  at  old 
and  new  position,  on  basis  of  position  va- 
cated, except  that  in  case  the  telegrapher 
transferred  works  both  old  and  new  posi- 
tion in  the  same  day,  but  one  day's  pay  will 
be  allowed.  Incoming  telegraphers  held  by 
order  of  the  company  awaiting  check  will  be 
paid  salary  of  position  they  are  leaving  for 
time  so  held. 

RULE  IX. 
Telegraphers  desiring  to  be  checked  in  by 
an  auditor  after  reporting  for  duty  following 
a  leave  of  absence  will  give  the  proper  officer 
notice  of  such  desire.  If  check  is  delayed 
beyond  five  days  the  telegrapher  will  be  paid 
for  all  time  held  out  of  service  on  that  ac- 
coiint. 

RULE  X. 
Running    Pumps. 
If  telegraphers  are  required  to  run  pumps, 
they  will  be  paid  $7.50  per  month  for  gaso- 
line pumps  and  $10.00  per  month  for  steam 
pumps,  in  addition   to  their  regular  pay.

those  other  employes  whose  salaries  are  in- 
cluded in  the  appended  wage  scale,  will  be

occur  or  new   positions   are   created. 

(c)  Promotion  will  be  in  the  order  of  sen- 
iority, those  longest  in  service  having  pref- 
erence, provided  merit,  ability,  record  and 
character  are  equal,  except  that  agents  at 
competitive  stations  will  be  chosen  from 
employes  in  service,  whose  particular  fitness 
for  securing  business,  together  with  recom- 
mendation from  the  traffic  department,  will 
be  considered  in  addition  to  the  above  quali- 
fications. 

(d)  Vacancies  and  new  positions  will  be

for  passing  them.  If  an  appeal  is  desired  it 
must   be   made  within   ten    (10)    days. 

(g)  An  employe  assigned  to  a  position  by

or  when  a  regular  position  is  abolished,  men

agreement. 

If  station  employes  in  telephone  dispatch- 
ing territory  at  closed  offices  are  required 
by  proper  officer  of  the  company  to  perform 
any  of  the  above  services,  the  monthly  rate 
of  pay  at  that  office  for  the  month  in 
which  such  service  is  rendered  shall  be 
the  minimum  salary  as  set  forth  in  the 
schedule. 

Note — (Sending  car  reports  not  to  be  con- 
sidered   a   written   message.) 

In  other  than  telephone  dispatching  ter- 
ritory, station  employes  shall  not  be  used

if  they  are  Instructed  by  proper  officer  of

ployed, nine  consecutive  hours  will  consti- 
tute a  day's  work;  except  at  relay  offices, 
where  nine  consecutive  hours,  including 
forty  consecutive  minutes  for  lunch,  will 
constitute  a  day's  work. 

Telegraphers  employed  in  relay  offices  will 
not  be  required  to  work  overtime,  except  in 
cases  of  emergency  which  are  understood  to 
be  cases  which  could  not  be  anticipated  or 
provided  for.

ARTICLE   III. 

Telegraphers  held  on  duty  in  the  per- 
formance of  any  service  required  by  the 
company  longer  than  the  number  of  hours 
constituting  a  day's  work  will  be  allowed

puted pro  rata  on  stated  salary,  but  in  no

forty-eight  hours  from  the  time  service  is 
performed.  If,  for  any  reason,  such  over- 
time is  not  allowed,  telegrapher  will  be  so 
advised  within  five  days,   stating  reason. 


ARTICLE' IV. 

When  ordered  to  attend  court,  telegra- 
phers will  be  allowed  for  time  lost,  if  away

Telegraphers  performing  service  at 
wrecks,  washouts,  or  other  temporary  of- 
fices will  receive  $2.50  per  day  and  neces- 
sary expenses  and  35  cents  per  hour  over- 
time. When  telegraphers  are  called  for 
such  service  while  on  duty,  the  above  com- 
pensation will  cover  all  regular  duties  per- 
formed on   the  same  day. 

Regularly  assigned  telegraphers  required 
to  leave  their  home  stations  ifc  do  relief 
work,  shall,  if  the  rate  of  pay  for  that 
service  is  higher  than  his  i-egular  rate,  re- 
ceive the  higher  rate,  and  in  any  event 
shall  suffer  no  loss  in  wages,  and  in  addi- 
tion shall  receive  50  cents  per  day  for  ex-

cated or  where  there  is  station  force  other 
than  agent  and  telegrapher  or  agent  and 
telegrapher  and  night  telegrapher,  telegra- 
phers will  not  be  required  to  care  for  switch

quired  to   teach   telegraphy. 

ARTICLE  VIII. 
When   an   employe   as  per  Article  I  trans- 
fers with  the  authority  of  proper  official,  he

ARTICLE   IX. 

Seniority  list  of  telegraphers  by  divisions 
and  by  each  relay  ofTice  will  be  furnished 
the  general  chairman  semi-annually  during 
.January^  and  July  of  each  year.  The  right 
of  promotion  for  telegraphers  will  extend 
over  each  superintendent's  division  and  to 
i-elay   offices. 

To  obtain  promotion,  intelligent  and 
courteous  discharge  of  duty  and  capacity 
for  greater  responsibility  will  govern.  When 
these  are  sufficient,  telegrapher  longest  in 
continuous  service  will  have  preference  in 
filling  of  vacancies  and  newly  created 
positicns. 

In  eveiit  a  telegrapher  feels  he  has  been 
discriminated  against,  he  shall  have  the 
right  to  appeal  the  case  to  the  superin- 
tendent  of*  the   division   on  which  he  is  em-

ployed,  except  that  in  cases  of  relay  offices, 
appeal  will  be  made  to  superintendent  ot 
telegraph. 

When  vacancies  occur  or  new  positions 
are  created,  telegraphers  on  the  division 
where  they  occur  will  be  notified  within 
five  days  by  bulletin  ^o  be  posted  in  of- 
fices, except  that  when  vacancies  occur  or 
new  positions  are  created  in  relay  offi  es, 
telegraphers  on  all  divisions  will  be  given 
notice  as  above  provided.  Telegraphers  will 
be  given  five  days  from  date  of  such  notice 
in  which  to  make  application  for  such  posi- 
tions. The  oldest  competent  telegrapher 
making  application  will  be  given  the  posi- 
tion within  thirty  days  from  date  of  notice 
of  such  vacancy  or  newly  created  position. 
In  the  notice  of  the  newly  created  position^ 
will  be,  stated  the  salary  to  be  paid  in  such 
position.  Telegraphers  making  application 
for  a  vacancy  or  newly  created  position  to 
which  their  seniority  entitles  them,  will,  if 
not  assigned  to  such  position,  be  given  the 
reason    in    writing    if    requested. 

When  telegraphers  are  transferred  and 
after  a  fair  trial  are  found  incompetent,  or 
if  not  satisfied  and  request  it,  they  will 
be  placed  on  the  extra  list,  retaining  their 
seniority  rights. 

Telegraphers  affected  by  reduction  in 
force  or  abolishing  of  positions  will  be  per- 
niitted  to  enter  any  position  of  their  choice 
filled  by  a  telegrapher  junior  to  them  on 
their  respective  division.  Telegraphers 
trans/erred  to  positions  in  relay  offices  may 
return  to  the  division  from  which  they 
came  and  be  placed  on  the  extra  list,  re- 
taining their  seniority  rights,  if  after  a  fair 
trial  they  are  found  incompetent,  or  if  not 
satisfied  and  request  it.  In  case  of  reduc- 
tion in  the  force  of  these  offices,  telegra- 
phers may  displace  any  telegrapher  junior 
io  them  for  which  he  is  competent  on  the 
division   from    which   they   came. 

All  notices  of  vacancies  and  newly  created 
positions  will  be  numbered  consecutively, 
and  will  state  the  assigned  working  hours 
of  the  position. 

Office  seniority  will  be  used  in  each  relay 
office. 

ARTICLE    X. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  suspended,  given 
demerit  marks  or  disinissed  from  the  com- 
pany's service,  without  just  cause.  In  case 
of  suspension  or  dismissal,  if  any  telegrapher 
thinks  his  sentence  unjust,  he  will  have  the 
right,  within  ten  days,  to  refer  his  case  by 
written  statement  to  division  superintendent 
or  superintendent  of  telegraph.  Within  ten 
days  of  the  receipt  of  the  notice  his  case 
shall  have  a  thorough  investigation  by  the 
proper  officer  of  the  company,  at  which  time 
he  may  be  present  if  he  so  desires,  and  also 
be  represented  by  any  disinterested  employe 
of  his  choice.  In  case  he  is  not  satisfied  with 
the  result  of  such  investigation,  he  shall 
have  the  right  to  appeal  to  the  general  offi- 
cers. In  case  of  intoxication  or  insubordina- 
tion, dismissal  will  follow  without  hearing, 
as  above  provided  for.  In  case  suspension  or 
dismissal  is  found  to  be  unjust,  he  will  be 
reinstated  and   paid   for  full    time   lost. 

ARTICLE   XI. 
Employes,    as   per  Article   I,    securing   em- 
ployment    with     the     company    will,     within 


thirty  days  of  approval  of  application,  have 
returned  to  them  all  service  cards,  letters 
of  recommendation  and  other  papers  which 
have  been  furnished  by  them  for  investiga- 
tion. 

Employes,  as  per  Article  I,  leaving  the 
service  of  the  company,  will  receive  a  clear- 
ance card,  stating  term  of  service,  capacity 
in  which  employed,  and  whether  leaving 
the  service  voluntarily  or  otherwise.  If 
discharged,  cause  of  dismissal  will  be 
shown;  "unsatisfactory  services''  and  similar 
phrases  will  not  be  vised. 

ARTICLE  XII. 

So  far  as  the  business  will  permit,  teleg- 
raphers will  be  excused  Sundays  without 
reduction  of  pay.  At  stations  where  the 
agent  is  also  telegrapher  and  where  no  other 
telegraphers  are  employed,  he  will  be  ex- 
cused from  service  on  Sunday,  except  that 
he  will  be  required  to  attend  passenger 
trains  that  receive  and  discharge  passengers 
or  mail  at  his  station,  unless  other  force  at 
that  station  can  be  so  arranged  as  to  partly 
or  entirely  relieve  him  from  meeting  pas- 
senger trains  on  Sunday. 

At  stations  where  only  one  telegrapher, 
who  is  not  agent,  is  employed,  if  required 
to  work  more  than  a  total  of  five  hours  on 
Sunday,  will  be  paid  overtiine  after  five 
hours. 

ARTICLE  XIII. 

Employes,  as  per  Article  I,  serving  on 
grievance  committee  and  board  of  adjust- 
inent,  will  be  granted  unlimited  leave  of 
absence  and  furnished  free  transportation  on 
request.  There  shall  be  no  discrimination 
against  any  employe  of  the  company 
whether  a  member  or  not  of  any  of  the 
railroad  organizations.  A  telegrapher  as- 
signed to  service  as  exclusive  agent  will 
retain  his  seniority  as  long  as  he  remains 
in   continuous  service  on  the  same  division. 

ARTICLE  XIV. 

Where  a  station  that  has  been  closed  is 
reopened,  the  salary  will  be  the  same  as 
provided  in_schedule  at  time  of  closing. 
When  telegraphers  are  added  to  the  force 
of  a  division,  the  salary  paid  will  not  be  less 
than  the  lowest  salary  shown  in  wage  scale 
on  that  subdivision,  or  in  that  office  if  two 
or  more  telegraphers  are  already  employed 
there,  except  agent-telegrapher  in  opening 
new    stations. 

(Note. — Each  branch  shall  be  considered  a 
separate   subdivision.) 

ARTICLE  XV. 

When  a  station  is  changed  from,  telegraph 
to  non-telegraph  office,  all  Western  Union 
and  railroad  company  telegraph  instruments, 
used  by  railroad  employes  will  be  taken  out

ated in  this  schedule  is  invited  as  well  as 
other  employes,  to  make  application  for 
vacancies   at    those   stations.

sition is,  in  the  judgment  of  superintendent

erating  expenses. 

(c)  When  a  telegrapher  considers  himself

pcrvicc  will  receive  four  ($4.00)  dollars  per

AGREEMENT. 

It  is  understood  and  agreed  by  and  be- 
tween the  Southern  Pacific  Company,  Pacific 
System,  and  the  general  committee  repre- 
senting the  telegraphers  employed  on  the 
said  system,  that  the  rates  and  schedule  of 
pay.  conditions  and'  terms  of  employment, 
service  and  promotion  herein  specified  for 
the  telegraphers  employed  on  said  System, 
will  be  in  effect  from  and  after  September 
1,  1M7,  provided  that  if  commercial  or  other 
conditions  change  materially.  the_  company 
reserves  the  right  to  abolish  an  office,  or 
reduce  the  force  without  notice,  to  conform 
to  such  modified  conditions,  and  said  South- 
ern Pacific  Company,  Pacific  System,  on  its 
part,  and  the  telegraphers  aforesaid,  on 
their  part,  do  hereby  agree  that  they  will 
perform  their  several  duties  and  stipulations 
provided  for  in  this  agreement,  and  it  is 
further  agi-eed  that  in  the  event  of  either 
party  to  this  agreement  desiring  a  change 
in  any  one  or  more  particulars,  they  will

other  party.  This  supersedes  previous  agree- 
ment and  rulings  thereon,  and  is  made  sub-

INTERPRETATION    OP    RULES. 
f— a. 

This  rule  not  to  apply  to  stations  that  are 
closed,  except  for  caretaker  who  does  not 
make  reports. 

V— a. 

In  computing  overtime  for  additional  hour, 
Section  (j).  Article  V  to  apply. 

5— h. 

Telegraphers  who  have  worked  eight  (8) 
consecutive  hours  without  a  meal,  if  re- 
quired to  continue  on  duty,  will  be  given 
double  time  for  the  ninth  hour  and  pro  rata 
oveitime  for  additional  hours  worked  after 
the  ninth  hour.  If  a  telegi-apher  has  worked 
but  eight  (8)  hours  and  nineteen  (19)  min- 
utes, the  nineteen  (19)  minutes  would  not 
constitute  ap  hour's  overtime.  If  worked 
twenty  (20)  minutes  or  over,  to  be  figured 
the  same  as  though  he  worked  the  full  hour. 
Telegrapher  released  at  the  expiration  of 
eight  (8)  hours'  consecutive  service  with 
instructions  to  return  after  taking  his  meal 
hour  or  if  called  to  return  after  completing 
his  eight  (8)  consecutive  hour  trick  will  be 
allowed  a  special  call  for  the  first  hour 
worked. 

V— i. 

Telegrapher  brought  on  duty  less  than 
thirty  (30)  minutes  prior  to  arrival  time  of 
any  passenger  train  they  are  required  to 
work,  will  be  paid  a  special  call  therefor. 
Under  this  section,  if  a  telegrapher's  hours 
began  between  6:00  a.  m.  and  8:00  a.  m., 
and  for  the  company's  convenience,  in  order 
to  continue  him  on  duty  later  in  the  after- 
noon, he  were  brought  on  at  6:15  a.  m.  to 
meet  a  passenger  train  due  at  6:30  a.  m., 
giving  him  but  fifteen  minutes  to  perform 
the  various  duties  necessary  before  the  ar- 
rival of  such  train,  he  would  receive  a  special 
call.  To  avoid  a  special  call  he  should  be 
brought  on  at  6:00  a.  m.  or  thirty  (30)  min- 
utes prior  to  the  arrival  of  the  train. 


V— k. 

Sunday  hours  may  be  regularly  assigned 
within  the  week-day  assignment,  that  is, 
assigned  in  advance.  For  illustration:  if  a 
telegrapher  is  only  required  on  duty  four  (4) 
hours  on  Sunday  and  those  hours  can  be 
regularly  assigned,  or  if  he  is  only  required 
on  duty  two  (2)  hours  on  Sunday  and  those 
hours  can  be  regularly  assigned,  he  will 
receive  overtime  pro  rata  for  such  actual 
hours  worked.  If  he  is  only  assigned,  how- 
ever, to  one  hour's  service  on  Sunday,  the 
minimum  he  would  receive  would  be  one 
special  call.  If  telegrapher  is  assigned  on 
Sunday,  the  same  hours  he  worked  on  week 
days,  he  is  paid  one  day  therefor.  A  teleg- 
rapher may  be  called  for  service  as  many 
times  as  desired  on  Sunday,  provided,  a 
special  call  is  paid  for  each  time  called.  If 
it  is  only  desired  to  have  him  meet  one  train 
in  the  morning  and  one  in  the  afternoon, 
he  would  receive  two  (2)  calls  for  Sunday 
service. 

VIII— a. 

It  is  agreed  that,  when  telegraphers  are 
required  to  handle  express  at  stations  where 
rate  of  express  commissions  has  been  re- 
duced by  the  Wells  Fargo  Co.  since  1906, 
former  express  commission  rate  as  of  1906 
will  be  re-established,  or  the  difference  be- 
tween former  rate  and  present  rate  made 
up  by  the  Southern  Pacific  Company,  on 
and  after  the   adoption  of  this  contract. 

IX— h. 

This  does  not  relieve  telegraphers  of  neces- 
sity for  providing  themselves  with  standard 
watch.  It  merely  relieves  telegraphers,  at 
point  where  standard  clock  is  maintained  in 
the  office  where  they  work,  from  reporting 
to  the  watch  inspector  for  watch  inspection. 
Should  such  telegrapher  be  assigned  to  an- 
other position  and  no  standard  clock  is  pro- 
vided, he  would  come  under  the  regular 
watch    inspection    rules. 

XVII— b. 

This  is  not  intended  to  cover  personal 
record  files  or  other  private  correspondence 
relative  to  any  telegrapher.  It  refers  to  the 
Brown  System  of  discipline  record  only. 

XIX— e. 

To  reduce  force  at  stations,  last  position 
estabhshed  would  be  abolished  first.  Hours 
of  remaining  tricks  to  be  arranged  to  cover 
necessary  hours'  service.  When  changes  in 
hours  exceed  five  (5)  hours  on  any  position, 
they  will  be  considered  new  positions,  and 
bulletined. 

XXI— a. 

Sunday  and  hoHday  hours,  if  assigned,  will 
be  within  the  week-day  period.  This  refers 
to  assignments  of  hours  on  those  days,  ex- 
cept as  provided  for  in  Article  VI.  Assigned 
hours  are  to  be  hours  assigned  for  duty  on 
Sundays  and  recognized  holidays  within  the 
period  of  week-day  service  with  a  minimum 
of  one   special   call.

Temiskaming  &  Northern  Ontario  Railway 


(EFFECTIVE     DECEMBER    1,    1916.) 


The  following  rules  and  wages  will  govern 
the  telegraphers  on  the  Temiskaming  and 
Northern    Ontario    Railway. 

When  additional  telegraphers'  positions 
are  created,  compensation  will  be  fixed  in 
conformity  with  that  for  position  of  the 
same    class   as    shown    by   this    schedule. 

ARTICLE  I. 
All  employes  assigned  by  proper  authority 
to  railway  telegraph  or  telephone  service 
of  any  character  or  duration,  and  also  the 
station  agehts  incorporated  in  the  accom- 
panying schedule  of  wages,  and  linemen, 
will  be  considered  as  telegraphers  within  the 
meaning  of  this,  schedule,  and  are  so  called 
herein. 

ARTICLE    II. 

(a)  The  right  of  promotion  of  telegra- 
phers will  extend  over  the  entire  system, 
and  will  be  governed  by  merit,  fitness  and 
ability;  where  these  are  sufficient,  the  senior 
telegrapher   will   be   given    the   prefei'ence. 

(b)  A  telegrapher's  seniority  will  date 
from  the  time  he  last  entered  the  service 
as  a  telegrapher.  The  seniority  of  a  teleg- 
rapher employed  on  lines  under  construc- 
tion, or  absorbed  by  the  coinmission,  will 
date  from  his  last  appointment  as  a  teleg- 
rapher on  such  lines.  When  newly  con- 
structed lines  are  taken  over  by  the  oper- 
ating department,  all  telegraphers'  posi- 
tions will  be  considered  vacant,  and  any 
telegrapher  in  line  of  promotion  to  them 
will  have  fifteen  days  within  which  to 
make  application  for  the   same. 

(c)  All  vacancies  and  permanent  ap- 
pointments will  be  immediately  advertised 
by  "23"  message  over  the  system.  .When' 
vacancies  in  positions  not  shown  in  the 
accompanying  schedule  of  wages  are  bulle- 
tined, the  bulletin  will  state  rate  of  com- 
pensation. Applications  for  vacancies  must 
be  made  within  ten  days  from  date  of  bul- 
letin. 

A  telegrapher  declining  to  accept  promo- 
tion in  any  instance  does  not  forfeit  his 
rights  to  the  same  or  any  other  position 
he  may  be  entitled  to  under  seniority  when 


a  vacancy  occurs.  A  telegrapher  on  leave 
of  absence  when  a  vacancy  occurs  will  not 
be  debarred  from  clairriing  position  and  re- 
ceiving the  appointment  on  resuming  duty, 
if   entitled   to  it. 

A  vacancy  will  be  filled  within  thirty  days 
after  it  occurs  by  the  appointment  of  the 
man  entitled  to  it. 

When  a  vacancy  occurs  the  superintendent 
of  traffic  will  fill  the  same  by  appointing  the 
senior  man,  who,  as  per  clause  (a)  hereof, 
is  entitled  to  the  position,  but  this  will  not 
prevent  any  telegrapher  senior  to  the  man 
so  appointed  claiming  his  rights  under 
clause  (a)  hereof  to  the  position,  provided  he 
flies  his  protest  within  ten  days  after  the 
appointment  has  been  bulletined  as  above, 
and  such  telegrapher  will  be  compensated 
by  the  commission  for  any  loss  of  revenue 
sustained  by  not  duly  receiving  the  appoint- 
ment to  which  he  is  entitled. 

(d)  Telegraphers  in  the  employ  will  be 
given  preference  in  filling  vacancies  or  op- 
enings  on   extensions  or  new  lines. 

(e)  In  case  of  reduction  in  the  number 
of  telegraphers  employed,  the  junior  teleg- 
raphers   will    be   the   first   dispensed    with. 

(f)  The  commission  will  not  abolish  posi- 
tions incorporated  in  Article  XXVII,  except 
in  case  of  a  reduction  of  staff.  A  telegra- 
pher holding  such  a  position,  so  abolished, 
will  receive  fourteen  days'  notice  of  the 
.same,  and  will  be  entitled  to  the  position 
then  held  by  the  junior-  permanently  located 
telegrapher,  but  will  retain  his  seniority 
rights. 

(g)  A  complete  list  of  all  telegraphers  em- 
ployed by  the'  commission,  showing  their 
seniority  standing,  will  be  kept  on  file  in 
the  respective  train  dispatching  offices,  open 
to  the  inspection  of  all  telegraphers  con- 
cerned. This  list  will  be  subject  to  correc- 
tion on  proper  representation  from  any  teleg- 
rapher, and  a  copy  of  it.  corrected  to  date, 
will  be  furnished  the  general  chairman  at 
the   beginning   of   each   year. 

fh)  Telegraphers  will  have  the  exclusive 
right  to  any  position  incorporated  In  the 
accompanying  wage  schedule,  also  any  new 
telegraphers'    positions    created   by   the    ab- 


594 


Schedules  and  Wage  Scales. 


sorption  of  other  lines,  or  the  construction 
of  new  lines,  when  vacancies  in  such  posi- 
tions  occur. 

(i)  Telegraphers  will  also  be  eligible  and 
considered  in  line  of  promotion  to  the  posi- 
tion of  agent  at  any  of  the  stations  not 
incorporated  in  the  accompanying  wage 
schedule,  which  have  been  omitted  in  view 
of  conditions  which  may  be  impracticable 
or  unfair  to  fill  these  positions  exclusively 
from  one  branch  of  the  service. 

(j)  The  right  of  promotion  of  train  dis- 
patchers will  be  governed  by  merit  and  abil- 
ity; these  being  sufficient,  the  senior  train 
dispatcher  to  have  the  preference.  The  or- 
der of  promotion  of  train  dispatchers  will 
be  from  senior  relieving  dispatcher  to  trick 
dispatcher,  and  from  trick  dispatcher  to 
chief   dispatcher. 

The  seniority  of  a  train  dispatcher  will 
date  from  the  time  he  was  appointed  a 
trick  dispatcher,  unless  by  his  own  request 
he  takes  another  position  in  the  service,  un- 
der which  circvimstances  his  seniority  as  a 
train  dispatcher  will  date  from  the  time  he 
was  last  appointed  as  a  trick  dispatcher.  A 
train  dispatcher  will  retain  his  seniority 
standing  in  the  ranks  of  the  agents  and 
operators. 

Relieving  dispatchers  will  be  appointed 
from  telegraphers  on  the  road,  if  available, 
in  accordance  with  clause  (c)-  of  this  ar- 
ticle, and  will  be  allowed  sufficient  time, 
without  pay,  to  learn  the  work  of  train 
dispatching,  under  a  regular  trick  dispatcher, 
such  time  not  to  exceed  one  week. 

In  the  event  of  a  vacancy  occurring  in  a 
train  dispatcher's  position,  or  chief  dis- 
patcher's position,  or  a  new  train  dispatch- 
er's position  created,  the  senior  train  dis- 
patchers ill  order  of  seniority  will  have  the 
refusal  of  the  same. 

ARTICLE   III. 

No  telegrapher  will  be  suspended  (except 
for  investigation),  disciplined  or  discharged 
until  his  case  has  been  investigated,  and  he 
has  .  been  proven  guilty  of  the  offense 
charged  against  him,  the  decision  in  such 
case  to  be  arrived  at  within  ten  days  from 
the  date  of  his  suspension.  If  a  telegrapher 
is  found  blameless  in  the  matter  under  in- 
vestigation, he  will  be  paid  at  schedule  rates 
for  the  time  lost  and  extra  expenses  while 
attending  such  investigation,  if  away  from 
home,  and  be  reinstated.  If  detained  more 
than  ten  days  awaiting  such  investigation 
at  the  commission's  instance,  he  will  be  paid 
schedule  wages  for  the  time  in  excess  of  ten 
days,  whatever  the  decision  may  be.  Teleg- 
raphers may  have  the  assistance  of  a  co- 
telegrapher  at  investigation  if  they  so  de- 
sire. 

A  written  statement  setting  forth  the  re- 
sult   of    an    investigation    and    the  -reasons 
thereof  will  be  furnished  by  the  commission  ' 
to    the    local    board    of    adjustment,    if    re- 
quested  by   it. 

-  ARTICLE   IV. 

Lack  of  conveniences,  such  as  school  fa- 
cilities, etc.,  will  be  taken  into  considera- 
tion in  locating  telegraphers,  but  only  when 
this  can  be  done  without  infringing  on  the 
rights   of   their   seniors   in   the   service. 


ARTICLE  V. 
Telegraphers  serving  on  boards  of  adjust- 
ment representing  telegraphers  will  be  re- 
lieved without  unnecessary  delay  (such  de- 
lay not  to  exceed  ten  days),  and  will  be 
furnished  free  flrst-class  transportation  over 
this    railway's    line    for    such    purpose. 

ARTICLE  VI. 
Telegraphers  will  be  granted  free  first- 
class  transportation  and  leave  of  absence 
to  attend  their  meetings,  and  the  leave  of* 
absence  will  not  exceed  two  days,  and  will 
only  be  granted  when  it  will  not  interfere 
with  the  reqiiirements  of  the  traffic,  and  the 
service,  provided  the  commission  is  not 
thereby   put   to   additional   expense. 

ARTICLE  VII. 

When  a  telegrapher  is  transferred  by  or- 
der of  the  proper  official,  he  will  suffer  no 
loss  in  schedule  wages  in  consequence  there- 
of, and  will  be  allowed  reasonable  time  (not 
to  exceed  four  days,  and  without  pay),  to 
arrange  for  the  shipment  of  his  household 
effects.   ■ 

ARTICLE  VIII. 

Telegraphers  attending  court  or  investiga- 
tion at  the  request  of  the  proper  official 
of  the  commission,  will  have  their  extra 
expenses  paid  by  the  commission,  4n  addi- 
tion  to   their  schedule  wages. 

ARTICLE   IX; 

Telegraphers  required  to  work  at  wrecks, 
washouts  and  slides,  will,  in  inclement 
weather,  be  provided  with  shelter  and  be

home. 

ARTICLE   X.

bers of  the  station  staff,   to  their  offices. 

ARTICLE  XL

the  commission  will  within  thirty  days  from 
the  date  of  employment  have  returned  to  him

dation which  have  been  taken  up  by  the

ARTICLE  XII. 
A  telegrapher  leaving  the  service  of  the 
coinmission  will,  on  request,  within  five  days,

official,  stating  term  or  terms  of  service, 
capacities  in  which  employed,  and  whether 
discharged  or  leaving  of  his  own  accord.  If 
discharged  ,cat>ee  of  dismissal  will  be  stated. 
If  detained  more  than  five  days  awaiting 
such  certificate,  he  will  be  paid  schedule 
wages  for  all  time  in  excess  of  five  days.  Un- 
less otherwise  requested,  this  certificate  will 
be  mailed  to  the  telegrapher  at  the  place 
of  last  employment.

clusively for  the  use  of  the  agent  andjiis 
family,  unless  he  elects  to  reside  else- 
where, and  in  the  event  of  so  electing,  the 
day  and  night  operator,  respectively,  will 
have  the  next  offer  of  same. 

When  wood  is  supplied  for  fuel,  it  will  be 
cut  in  lengths  not  exceeding  twenty  inches. 

A  telegrapher  occupying  one  of  the  com- 
mission's dwellings,  who  is  dismissed  from 
the  service,  will  be  allowed  to  retain  posses- 
sion of  the  dwelling  until  he  has  been  paid 
all  moneys  due  him  by  the  commission,  and 
the  commission  will  keep  its  dwelling  in  good 
repair.  Occupants  must  keep  such  dwellings 
and  their  surroundings  clean,  and  must  pay 
for  repairs  other  than  those  due  ,to  ordi- 
nary wear  and  tear. 

ARTICLE  XV.

rates  as  per  clause  (d)  of  Article  XIX,  with 
a  minimum  compensation  of  50  cents  for 
each  call  for  which  one  hour's  service,  if  re-

than  twice,  he  will  receive  a  full  day's 
pay. 

Telegraphers  will  be  notified  Saturdays  on 
leaving  duty  if  they  will  be  required  for  duty 
the  following  Sunday,  except  positions 
termed  "operators  and  ticket  clerks." 

ARTICLE  XVI. 
Telegraphers  will  not  be  responsible  for 
errors  occurring  in  orders  or  instructions  af- 
fecting the  movement  of  trains  which  have 
been  received  or  transmitted  by  telephone, 
until  such  time  as  proper  telephone  train 
dispatching  equipment  has  been   installed. 

ARTICLE  XVII. 
Permanently  located  telegraphers  required 
to  do  relief  work  will  be  allowed  the  salary 
of  the  telegrapher  relieved,  provided  it  is  not 
less  than  his  own,  and  expenses,  as  per 
Article    XXVII,    on    production    of    voucher. 

ARTICLE  XVIII. 
Railway  telegraphers  handling  commercial 
telegraph   or  telephone  business  will  be  al- 


lowed ten  per  cent  commission  on  all  Temis- 
kaming  and  Northern  Ontario  Railway  tele- 
graph or  telephone  earnings,  and  on  con- 
necting lines  with  which  we  check  direct. 

The  income  accruing  to  the  station  on  ac- 
count of  telegraph  or  telephone  commis- 
sions will  be  equitably  divided  between  the 
telegraphers  performing  the  service,  the 
agent  to  be  entitled  to  not  less  than  one- 
third    of    the    total    amount. 

ARTICLE  XIX.   ■ 

(a)  Ten  consecutive  hours'  service,  in- 
cludmg  meal  hour,  will  constitute  a  day's 
work  for  all  telegraphers,  except  North  Bay 
"BY"  office,  where  eight  consecutive  hours, 
without  meal  hovir,  will  constitute  a  day's 
work.  The  hours  of  duty  of  all  agents 
where  there  is  no  operator  will  commence 
between  the  hours  of  7:00  a.  m.  and  9:00 
a.    m. 

(b)  Telegraphers  working  more  than 
eight  hours  per  day  will  be  allowed  sixty 
consecutive  minutes  in  which  to  procure

9:00  a.  rn.,  12:00  noon  and  2:30  p.  m.,  5:00 
p.  m.  and  7:00  p.  m.,  and  midnight  and  2:30 
a.  m.,  provided  only  one  meal  hour  will  be  al- 
lowed. Nothing  herein  will  prohibit  a  dis- 
patcher from  granting  telegraphers  two  meal 
hours  when  kept  on  duty  beyond  their  regu- 
lar hours,  the  intention  being  to  grant  regu- 
lar meal  hours  so  far  as  the  business  of  the 
commission  will   permit. 

(c)  No  telegrapher  will  be  required  to 
work  what  is  known  as  a  "split  ti-ick",  a 
meal  hour  not  being  considered  a  "split 
triok". 

(d)  Telegraphers  will  be  allowed  overtime 
at  the  -rate  of  time  and  ono-half,  according

month,  any  portion  of  an  hour,  thirty  min- 
utes or  over,  will  be  counted  as  an  hour, 
any  portion  less  than  thirty  minutes  will 
not  be  counted,  except  that  telegraphers 
when  required  to  remain  on  duty  aftei^egu- 
lar  hours,  i£  detained  fifteen  minute^  will 
be  allowed  one  hour  overtime  for  the  first 
hour  or   any   portion   thereof. 

(e)  Telegraphers  when  called  by  propei 
authority  for  any  purpose,  before  or  after 
regular  hours,  will  b"fe  paid  a  minimum  oi 
fifty  cents  for  each  call,  but  in  no  case  will 
the  compensation  be  less  than  for  one  hour's

ARTICLE    II. 

Seniority    and     Promotion. 

(a)  Employes  will  be  regarded  in  line  of 
promotion  and  advancement  dependent  upon 
faithful  discharge  of  duty  and  capacity  for 
increased  responsibility.  Where  these,  in  the 
judgment  of  the  company,  are  sufficient, 
seniority  will  have  preference.  An  employe 
making  application  for  a  vacancy  or  newly 
created  position  to  which  his  seniority  en- 
titles him  will,  if  not  assigned  to  such  posi- 
tion, be  given  the  reason  in  writing,  if  re- 
quested, 


(b)  When  an  employe  is  transferred  or 
promoted  and  after  a  fair  trial  is  found  in- 
capable, he  will  take  his  place  on  the  extra 
list,    retaining   his    seniority   rights. 

(c)  An  employe  declining  promotion  to 
any  position  does  not  forfeit  seniority  rights. 

(d)  Except  as  provided  in  Article  XVI-B, 
seniority  will  date  from  date  of  last  entering 
the  service  of  the  company  in  this  depart- 
ment, and  will  extend  over  superintendent's 
division  on  which  employed.  On  terminals, 
division  seniority  will  follow  the  jurisdiction 
of  division  superintendent,  except  open  posi- 
tions in  "NY"  Ft.  Worth  office  will  be  bulle- 
tined and  subject  to  bids  from  telegraphers 
on  Eastern  and   Ft.   Worth  Divisions. 

(e)  ,A11  offices  under  jurisdiction  of  sviper- 
intendent  of  telegraph  shall  maintain 
separate  seniority  without  regard  to  any 
superintendent's  operating  division;  tele- 
graph operators  promoted  to  either  of  these 
offices  shall  retain  rights  on  the  division  from 
which  promoted.  The  superintendent  of  tele- 
graph or  authorized  representative  Shall  se- 
lect telegraph  operators  for  service  in  these 
offices.  Telegraph  operators  desiring  posi- 
tions in  these  offices  are  expected  to  file 
applications  for  same  with  the  superin- 
tendent of  telegraph,  and  these  applications 
will  be  considered  as  vacancies  occur  or  ad- 
ditions are  made  to  the  force. 

(f)  Seniority  will  be  effective  only  when 
vacancies  occur  or  new  positions  are  cre- 
ated. Vacancies  and  new  positions  will  be 
advertised  promptly  to  all  offices  on  the 
division  on  which  they  occur  and  will  be 
filled  according  to  paragraph  (a).  Vacancies 
will  not  be  filled  permanently  sooner  than 
ten  days,  but  will  be  filled  within  thirty 
days. 

(g)  Senior  extra  telegraphers  will  be 
used  in  preference  to  junior  extra  telegra- 
phers; provided,  however,  no  junior  extra 
telegrapher  shall  be  displaced  by  a  senior 
extra  telegrapher  until  the  junior  telegrapher 
has^  held  the  job  on  which  he  is  then  en- 
gaged t«n  days. 

(h)  When  a  regular  position  is  abolished, 
the  employe  relieved  shall  have  the  privilege 
of  asserting  his  seniority  rights  to  any 
schedule  position  on  the  division,  and  will 
be  required  to  select  some  position  within 
thirty  days,  or  go  on  the  extra  list;  provided 
that  he  shall  not  displace  any  telegrapher 
-who  has  been  in  the  service  over  three 
years.  The  man  displaced  by  him  to  assert 
his  seniority  to  position  held  by  any  junior 
telegrapher  in  point  of  service,  and  so  on 
until  the  youngest  man  is  relieved,  or  dis- 
placed  men   cease  to  assert  the  privilege. 

(i)  Seniority  lists  of  telegraphers  will  be 
furnished  by  the  superintendent  of  each 
division  to  local  chairmen  of  each  division 
in  January  and  July  of  each  year. 

(j)  Trading  positions  will  not  be  per- 
mitted; provided  at  points  where  two  or 
more  telegraphers  are  employed,  when  tem- 
porary vacancies  occur,  office  seniority  will 
be  permitted  if  desired;  the  relief  man  tak-

ment, on  account  of  ill-health  of  themselves 
or  families,  may  transfer  from  one  division

pany. In  such  cases  the  telegrapher  mak- 
ing the  transfer  will  go  on  the  extra  list,  but 
will  retain  one-half  of  his  seniority  rights, 
and  will  have  the  right  to  flle  into  bulle-

ARTICLE  I. 
All  employes  performing  the  duties  of  a 
telegrapher,  including  agent- telegraphers 
performing  combined  duties,  and  telephone 
operators  handling  train  orders,  also  such 
station  agents  and  other  employes  as  are 
specified  in  the  wage  scale,  will  be  con- 
sidered telegraphers  within  the  meaning  of 
this  agreement. 

ARTICLE    II. 
When    new    positions    are    created    these 
rules  and  regulations  will  apply  to  them,  and 
in  fixing  compensation  similar  positions,   re- 
sponsibilities arid  salaries  will  be  considered. 

ARTICLE  III. 
The  rights  of  promotion  for  telegraphers 
will  extend  over  the  line  as  a  unit.  To  ob- 
tain promotion,  faithful,  intelligent  and  cour- 
teous discharge  of  duty  and  capacity  for 
greater  responsibility  will  govern.  Ability 
being  sufficient,  men  longest  in  continuoiis 
service  will  have  preference.     In  event  the 


oldest  employe  is  not  assigned,  he  shall  have 
the   right   to   appeal. 

ARTICLE  IV. 
In  case  of  reduction  of  force,  the  youngest 
assigned  telegrapher  will  be  reduced  first. 
In  re-employing  such  men  seniority  will 
govern,  subject  to  the  provisions  of  Article 
III. 

ARTICLE   V. 

All  vacancies  will  be  bulletined  within  five 
days  to  all  employes,  and  no  positions  filled 
permanently  within  less  than  ten  days  after 
issuance  of  bulletin,  but  will  be  filled  within 
thirty  days.  When  transferred,  and  after 
a  fair  trial  telegraphers  are  found  incapable, 
they  will  be  assigned  to  the  extra  list,  re- 
taining their  seniority. 

ARTICLE  VI. 
Seniority  will   be   effective  only  when   va- 
cancies occur  or   new  positions  are   created, 
and  will  be  effective  from  the  date  last  en- 
tering  the    service.

time,   unless   there   are   no   other   applicants. 

Telegraphers  declining  promotion  do  not 
forfeit  seniority  rights  to  this  or  any  other 
position   when   a   vacancy   occurs.

entitled  to  a  representative  in  the  employ 
of  the  company  present,  and  will  be  notiiled 
result    of    investigation    promptly. 

When  a  telegrapher  has  been  disciplined  or 
discharged,  and  upon  investigation  it  has 
been  found  that  he  was  not  at  fault,  he  will 
receive  full  pay  for  time  lost  on  said  ac- 
count and  be  reinstated  with  all  seniority 
rights.  In  the  event  a  grievance  cannot  be 
satisfactorily  adjusted  with  the  general

ARTICLE  XV. 

Telegraphers  who  have  been  in  the  serv- 
ice sixty  days  or  more  will,  in  leaving  the

date  they  will  report  for  duty.  Leave  of  ab- 
sence will  not  be  granted  for  any  period 
exceeding  ninety  days,  except  in  cases  of

their  families. 

ARTICLE  XVIII. 
When  telegraphers  covered  by  this  agree- 
ment are  temporarily  transferred  from  their 
assigned  positions  to  a  position  paying  a 
lower  rate  than  the  regular  assignment,  or 
when  temporarily  transferred  to  a  position 
paying  a  higher  rate,  they  will  be  paid  their 
regular  salary  plus  actual  additional  expense 
incurred  by  transfer,  not  exceeding  $1.00  per 
day.  A  temporary  transfer  in  the  above  case 
is  understood  not  to  exceed  twenty  days;  if

ditional expense  not  exceeding  $1.00  per  day 

ARTICLE  XIX.

and  all  amendments,  rulings  and  supple- 
ments thereto. 

ARTICLE  XX. 

It  is  distinctly  understood  that  when  this 
agreement  goes  into  effect,  if  any  wrong  or 
injury  has  been  done  to  any  one  or  more 
persons  or  the  management,  both  parties  are 
at  all  times  ready  to  take  up  and  consider, 
with  a  spirit  of  fairness,   such  grievances. 

ARTICLE  XXL

sidered as  coming  under  this  schedule  in  so 
far  as  seniority  obtains.  There  will  be  no

ploying new  men.

(EFFECTIVE     MARCH     1,    1917.) 
(Superseding    Agreement   of   February    16,    191C.) 


ARTICLE    I. 

All  telegraph  operators,  telephone  opera- 
tois,  also  station  agents  specified  in  this 
schedule,  will  be  considered  "telegraphers"' 
within  the  meaning  of  these  articles,  irre- 
spective of  the  title  by  which  designated 
or  the  character  cf  service  performed,  and 
will  be  governed  by  the  regulations  and 
paid  at  the  rates  specified  herein.  When 
new  positions  are  created,  the  provisions  of 
this  agreement  will  apply  and  the  wages  will 
be  fixed  to  conform  to  positions  of  similar 
class. 

ARTICLE    n. 

Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  in  line  for 
promotion  and  where  ability  is  sufficient, 
according  to  the  judgment  of  the  proper 
officer  of  the  railway  company,  seniority 
will   prevail. 

Seniority  rights  will  be  effective  when  va- 
cancies occur,  or  when  new  positions  are 
cieated.  Seniority  rights  will  date  from  the 
last    time   of   entering   the   .service. 

Vacancies  and  new  positions  will  be  bul- 
letined within  ten  days  to  all  offices  on 
the  division  and  will  be  filled  in  accordance 
with  this  article,  and  eligible  employes  will 
be  given  eight  (8)  days  in  which  to  apply 
for  same,  and  such  positions  will  ordinarily 
be  filled  within  thirty  days. 

The  chairman  of  the  telegraphers'  com- 
mittee will  be  given  a  list  of  telegraphers 
who  apply  for  positions  on  bulletins  and 
assignments    to    same. 

In  the  event  of  reduction  of  force,  reten- 
tion in  service  will  be  governed  by  seniority, 
together  with  merit,  capacity  and  qualifica- 
tions, based  on  the  judgment  of  the  proper 
officer  of  the  company.  When  a  regular 
telegrapher's  position  is  discontinued,  the 
telegrapher  thereb\-  displaced  will  be  enti- 
tled, if  qualified,  to  the  position  held  by  the 
.\oungest  regularly  assigned  telegrapher. 
Telegraphers  will  retain  their  seniority  on 
the    extra    list. 

Telegraphers  refusing  promotion  will  not 
lo.se  seniority. 


ARTICLE  III. 

Should  a  telegrapher  regard  the  discipline 
iinposed  on  him  as  unjust,  he  may  submit  a 
written  statement  of  the  facts  and  argu- 
ments to  the  general  committee  within  fif- 
teen (15)  days,  and  if  in  the  judgment  of 
the  committee  an  injustice  has  been  done, 
then  the  said  committee  and  the  head  of  the 
department  shall  jointly  and  fully  consider 
the  case. 

Should  the  committee  fail  to  get  a  satis- 
factory decision  from  the  head  of  the  depart- 
ment, the  iTiatter  may  be  referred  to  the 
general  superintendent  for  his  consideration. 

ARTICLE    IV. 

(a)  At  stations  where  one  man  constitutes 
the  station  force  or  office  force,  the  regular 
hours  asi  far  as  practicable  will  be  from  7:00 
a.  m.  to  7:00  p.  m.  Twelve  consecutive 
hours,  including  meal  hour,  will  constitute  a 
day's  woriv.  The  houi's  will  be  fixed  by  the 
superintendent  to  begin  between  5:30  and 
8:30    a.    m.    or    p.    m. 

(b)  At  ofl[ices  where  two  men  are  employed 
and  seventeen  hour  service  maintained,  eight 
and  one-half  consecutive  hours  will  consti- 
tute a   day's  work. 

(c)  At  offices  where  three  men  are  em- 
ployed, eight  and  one-half  consecutive  hours 
will   constitute  a  day's   work. 

ARTICLE  V. 
Telegraphers  ordered  by  proper  authority 
to  remain  on  duty  for  telegraphic  service,

nection with  train  movement  shall  be  con- 
sidered as  telegraphers  within  the  meaning 
of  this  schedule,  and  nothing  in  this  article 
is  to  be  considered  as  meaning  that  persons 
holding  such  positions  enumerated  below, 
shall  be  ineligible  for  promotion  to  any 
agency  or  other  position.s  in  the  company's 
service,  for  which  he  may  be  considered 
qualified. 

ARTICLE   IL

conformity  with  positions  of  the  same  class 
in   this   schedule. 

ARTICLE   III. 

(a)  Where  but  one  telegrapher  is  em- 
ployed, eleven  consecutive  hours,  including 
meal  hour,   .shall   constitute   a   day's   work. 

(b)  Where  two  telegraphers  are  employed, 
ten  consecutive  hours,  including  meal  hour, 
will  constitute  a  day's  work. 

(c)  At  offices  where  more  than  two  teleg- 
raphers are  employed  not  inore  than  ten 
consecutive  hours'  service,  including  meal 
hour,  or  at  the  company's  option,  eight  con- 
secutive hours  without  meal  hour,  shall  con- 
stitute a  day's  work.  It  is  understood  that

(d)  If  a  tel'egi'apher  is  required  to  remain 
on  duty  longer  than  the  number  of  hours 
necessary  to  constitute  a  day's  work,  he  will 
be  paid  overtime  as   per  Article   IV. 

ARTICLE    IV. 

(a)  Telegraphers  will  be  allowed  overtime 
based  on  their  regular  sa'ary.  The  rate  per 
hour  will  be  determined  by  dividing  the 
monthly  rate  by  the  number  of  hours  re- 
quired for  the  month's  work,  provided  that 
the  rate  per  hour  will  in  no  case  be  less 
than  25  cents.  Allowance  will  be  made  for 
the  actual  tiine  of  service  computed  to  the 
nearest  five  minutes. 

(b)  Overtime  will  not  be  allowed  unless 
overtiine  tickets,  consecutively  numbered, 
are  mailed  to  the  proper  official  within 
forty-eight  hours  from  time  service  is  per- 
formed; if  overtime  as  claimed  is  not  al- 
lowed, telegraphers  will  be  notified  in  Avrit- 
ing  within  ten  days  from  the  time  such 
service  is  performed,  setting  forth  the  reason 
for   disallowance.

quired between  12:01  a.  m.  and  11:59  p.  m.,

raphers are  expected  to  report  to  the  dis- 
patcher at  an  appointed  hour  on  Sunday 
without  overtime  allowance  unless  held  for 
work,  in  which  case  they  will  be  allowed 
not  less  than  one  hour.  Day  telegraphers

pensation, that  their  relief  reports  for  duty

ARTICLE  VIL 
One  hour  will  be  allowed  for  dinner,  when 
consistent,  to  telegraphers  between  th,e

extra  compensation,  which  will  in'clude  at- 
tending to  lamps  pertaining  to  said  switches;

ARTICLE  IX.

company  to  be  absent  from  duty  to  attend

sary  expenses   while   so   required. 

ARTICLE  X.

sence to  attend  their  meetings  and  to  serve

sistent with  good  service,  provided  the  com- 
pany is  not  put  to  any  additional  expense 
thereby. 

ARTICLE   XI. 

Telegraphers  who  have  served  three  con- 
tinuous years  will  be  allowed  two  weeks' 
leavei  of  absence  each  year  with  pay,  or  will 
be  paid  two  weeks'  extra'  compensation  if

will  be  granted  only  when  relief  can  be  pro- 
vided without  detriment  to  the  service  and 
applications  will  be  dealt  with  in  order  of 
seniority  of  the  applicants.  All  applications 
must  be  filed  prior  to  the  first  day  of  April 
each   j'ear. 

ARTICLE   XIL 

When  a  telegrapher  is  transferred  from 
one  position  t.o  another  he  will  receive  free 
transportation  over  this  company's  line  for 
himself,  his  immediate  dependent  family, 
and  a  reasonable  amount  of  household  goods, 
and  he  will  be  allowed  continuous  time  while 
Ihe  transfer  is  being  made  at  the  rate  of 
the  position  which  he  is  leaving.  This  al- 
lowance is  to  cover  time  used  in  making  the 
transfer  in  accordance  with  instructions,  and 
is  not  designed  to  cover  time  lost  if  the 
employe  remains  out  of  service  to  pack  his 
goods  or  for  other  reasons.

613 


ARTICLE  XIII. 

Complete  lists  of  all  telegraphers  in  service 
in  the  order  of  seniority  will  be  kept  posted 
or  on  file  in  the  superintendent's  office,  open 
to  the  inspection  of  all  concerned.  Any 
employe  who  considers  that  his  standing-  is 
incorrectly  shown  must  protest  in  writing 
within  thirty  days,  otherwise  the  seniority 
lists  will  remain  unchanged.  Due  allowance 
may  be  made  for  an  employe  who  is  off  duty 
during  the  thirty  days  following  the  posting 
of  the  lists.  Amended  lists  will  be  posted 
during  January  and  June  of  each  year. 

The  relative  standing  of  the  seniority  list 
will  be  determined  by  the  date  of  last  em- 
ployment as  telegrapher,  except  that  an 
employe  who  resigns  or  is  dismissed  froni 
the  service  may  be  reinstated  provided  he 
returns  to  service  within  one  year. 

ARTICLE  XIV. 
All  vacancies  and  permanent  appointments 
will  be  advertised  by  bulletin  or  inessage  to 
all  stations.  Applications  must  be  made 
within  five  days  from  the  date  of  the  bulletin 
and  will  be  considered  in  order  of  seniority 
of  the  applicants.  The  assigjiment  will  be 
determined  by  merit,  fitness  and  ability. 
Where  these  are  sufficient  the  senior  teleg- 
rapher will  be  given  preference.  The  super- 
intendent will  be  the  judge  as  to  the  ability 
of  the  applicant.  Failure  to  apply  for  a 
vacancy  does  not  affect  seniority.  When  a 
telegrapher  is  transferred  or  promoted  and 
after  fair  trial  is  found  Incompetent  or 
unsatisfactory,  he  will  take  his  place  on  the 
extra  list,  but  retain  his  seniority.  Seniority 
will  be  effective  only  when  vacancies  occur 
and    new    positions    are    created. 

ARTICLE  XV. 
If   a    position   covered    by    this   schedule   is 
abolished,  the  man  displaced  will  be  entitled 
to  the  position  held  by  the  junior  telegrapher 
permanently  assigned. 

ARTICLE  XVI. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  suspended  or  dis- 
charged without  just  cause.  When  they  con- 
sider that  they  have  been  unjustly  treated, 
they  will  have  the  right  to  appeal  to  the 
superintendent  and  assistant  to  the  presi- 
dent, in  order  named,  and  may  be  accom- 
panied, if  they  desire,  by  a  fellow  employe 
in  good  standing.  In  case  a  telegrapher  has 
been  suspended  or  discharged,  and  after 
investigation  is  found  not  at  fault,  he  will 
be  reinstated  and  paid  for  all  time  lost.  Any 
objection  to  a  decision  must  be  handed  in 
at  once  and  no  allowance  will  be  made  for 
time  lost  between  the  date  of  such  decision 
r.nd  the  date  on  which  appeal  for  rehearing 
is  made. 

ARTICLE  XVII. 

A  telegrapher  leaving  the  service  of  the 
company,  will,  on  request,  within  five  days,

The  Trinity  &  Brazos  Valley  Railway  Company 

J.  W.  ROBINS,  Receiver 


(EFFECTIVE    AUGUST    1,    1917.) 


It  is  hereby  understood  and  agreed  be- 
tween the  management  and  the  telegraphers 
that  the  following  rules  and  rates  of  pay 
will  apply,  govern  and  control  telegraphers 
in  the  employ  of  the  Trinity  &  Brazos  "Valley 
Railway  Company: 

When  new  positions  are  created,  compen- 
sation and  duties  will  be  arranged  in  con- 
formity with  positions  of  the  same  cla.ss  as 
shown  in  this  schedule. 

ARTICLE   I. 
Telegrapher   Defined. 

Any  person  performing  the  duties  of  teleg- 
rapher at  any  station,  whether  termed  agent, 
cashier  or  otherwise,  shall  be  considered  a 
telegrapher,  except  train  dispatchers  and 
operators  in  "HS"  ofRce,  Houston. 

ARTICLE    IL 
Exclusive    Agencies. 

The  management  desires  that  competent 
employes  may  enjoy  the  benefit  of  promotion, 
and  vacancies  will  be  published  of  any 
changes  in  agencies  at  Waxahachie,  Corsi- 
cana,  Teague,  Cleburne,  Hillsboro,  Hubbard 
and  Mexia,  and  telegraphers  feeling  compe- 
tent of  filling  vacancy  are  invited  to  make 
application    for   position. 

ARTICLE   III. 
Seniority  and  Promotion. 

Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  as  in  line 
for  promotion,  advancement  depending  upon 
faithful  discharge  of  duty  and  capacity  for 
increased  responsibility.  When  these  are 
sufficient,  seniority  will  govern.  The  com- 
pany, through  the  proper  officers,  will  deter- 
mine the  fitness  of  telegraphers  to  fill  any 
position  in  this  agreement,  but  any  telegra- 
pher feeling  himself  discriminated  against 
will  have  the  right  to  appeal  in  writing  to 
the  highest  officers  in  regular  order. 

Seniority  will  date  from  last  time  of  enter- 
ing service,  and  will  be  effective,  as  outlined 
below,  when  vacancies  occur,  new  positions 
created,  positions  abolished  or  force  reduced. 

Vacancies  and  new  positions  will,  within 
five  .  (5)  days,  be  bulletined  to  all  offices, 
bulletin  to  state  salary.  Telegraphers  will 
be  given  ten  (10)  days  from  date  of  bulletin 
to  file  application,  and  such  positions  will 
be  filled  within  ten  (10)  days  after  applica- 
tions are  closed. 


When  positions  are  abolished  or  force  re- 
duced, telegrapher  affected  may  displace  any 
junior  telegrapher,  except  those  who  have 
been  assigned  to  a  regular  position  continu- 
ously three  years  or  more,  or  go  on  the  extra 
list,  retaining  his  seniority.  In  event  there 
are  no  telegraphers  in  the  service  younger 
than  three  (3)  years,  the  youngest  telegra- 
pher may  be  displaced. 

Telegraphers  transferred  and  after  a  fair 
trial  found'  incapable,  will,  with  seniority 
unimpaired,  displace  the  youngest  man  in 
regular  service. 

Telegraphers  may,  with  seniority  unim- 
paired, accept  service  with  this  company  in 
any  capacity. 

Trading  of  positions  between  telegraphers 
will  not  be  permitted. 

■A  seniority  list  will  be  issued  during  Jan- 
iiary  and  July  of  each  year  and  furnished 
each  telegrapher. 

ARTICLE   IV. 
Notice   of   Reduction. 

Telegraphers  with  families  who  have  been 
assigned  regular  positions  one  year  or  longer 
will  be  given  ten  (10)  days'  notice  if  cut  off 
through  reduction  of  force  or  abolishing  of 
position. 

ARTICLE   V. 
Discipline. 

Telegraphers  will  not  be  discharged  or 
otherwise  disciplined  without  just  cause.  In 
case  a  telegrapher  believes  he  has  been  un- 
justly discharged  or  disciplined,  he  will  have 
the  right  to  appeal  his  case  in  writing  to 
the  superintendent,  who  will  grant  a  rehear- 
ing within  ten  (10>  days.  If  dissatisfied  with 
decision  rendered,  or  no  hearing  is  given, 
telegrapher  will  have  the  right  to  appeal  to 
the  general  manager,  and  if  found'  to  bo 
unjustly  discharged  will  be  reinstated  and 
paid  for  time  lost.  Telegraphers  will  have 
the  right  to  be  represented  at  investigations 
by  a  telegrapher  who  is  in  the  employ  of 
the  company.  Telegraphers  taken  out  of 
the  service  for  investigation  shall  be  given 
a  hearing  within  five  (5)  days.  Intoxication 
or  insubordination  shall  be  cause  for  dis- 
charge without  Investigation. 

If  a  telegrapher  is  ordered  to  perform 
service  contrary  to  the  articles  enumerated 
herein,  he  shall  be  so  ordered  in  writing  and 
shall   obey,    but   may    protest    to    the   officer

raphers entering  service  will,  vipon  applica- 
tion, have  returned  to  them  all  letters  of

(EFFECTIVE  SEPTEMBER  1,  1917.) 


Effective  September  1st,  1917,  the  follow- 
ing rates  of  pay  and  regulations  for  teleg- 
raphers  will   govern: 

ARTICLE    I. 
Definition  of  Telegrapher. 

(a)  Emplojes  required  to  perform  tele- 
graph service  of  any  character  or  duration, 
agent-telegraphers,  telephoners,  agent-tele- 
phoners,  whose  duties  include  the  handling 
of  train  orders  or  blocking  of  trains,  also 
other  employes,  if  included  in  this  schedule 
of  wages,  will  be  considered  telegraphers 
within  the  meaning  of  this  agreement.  When 
necessary,  telegraphers  will  be  required 
to    perform    clerical    duty. 

Additional    Positions. 

(b)  When  additional  positions  are  created, 
compensation  will  be  fixed  in  conformity 
with    positions    of    the    same    class. 

ARTICLE    II. 
Promotion. 

(a)  Telegraphers  are  in  line  of  promo- 
tion, advancement  in  their  line  of  work  de- 
pending upon  faithful  discharge  of  duty 
and  their  capacity  for  increased  responsibil- 
ity. When  ability  and  character  will  permit, 
seniority  will  have  preference.  The  proper 
official  of  the  railway  company  will  deter- 
mine the  fitness  of  telegraphei-s  for  ad- 
vancement. 

Vacancies. 

(b)  When  a  vacancy  occurs  or  a  new  po- 
sition is  created  on  a  superintendent's  divi- 
sion, telegraphers  will  be  notified,  announc- 
ing the  location  and  rate  of  pay,  and  they 
shall  make  application  for  the  position 
within  five  days  after  date  of  notification, 
and  such  position  may  be  permanently  filled 
at  the   expiration   of  ten   days. 

Advertising    Vacancies. 

(c)  All  vacancies  occurring  in  division  of- 
fices, except  the  first  and  second  tricks,  will 
be  advertised.  ^Vhen  a  telegrapher  is  as- 
signed to  the  third  trick  he  will  be  in  line  of 
promotion  to  the  second  trick  when  vacant, 
advancing  to  the  first  trick  as  vacancies 
occur,  and  will  be  entitled  to  the  first  va- 
cancy in  the  dispatching  force,  if  compe- 
tent. 

Reduction    Dispatchers'    Force. 

(d)  In  the  event  of  reduction  in  dispatch- 
ers' force,  dispatchers  so  reduced  will  take 
standing  according  to  their  rights  as  telegra- 
phers, but  will  retain  their  seniority  as  dis- 
patchers. 

Eligibility. 

(e)  A  telegrapher  shall  not  be  eligible  to 
return  to  a  position  vacated  by  him  until 
same  shall  have  been  advertised  a  second 
time,    unless   there    are   no   other   applicants. 


Seniority, 
(f;  Seniority  will  be  effective  when  va- 
cancies occur,  new  positions  are  created,  or 
a  position  abolished.  When  a  position  is 
abolislied,  the  telegrapher  affected  may  dis- 
place an^  junior  telegrapher  who  has  not 
been  in  the  service  three  (3)  years,  or  go 
on  the  extra  list,  retaining  his  seniority.  In 
the  event  there  are  no  telegraphers  in  serv- 
ice younger  than  three  (3>  years,  the  young- 
est  telegrapher   may   be    displaced. 

Filling    Other    Positions. 

(g)  Employes  from  the  telegraph  service 
filling  the  position  of  cashier,  ticket  seller, 
baggage  agent  or  car  agent,  will  retain  their 
seniority  rights,  which  may  be  asserted  only 
by  filing  application  for  vacancies  or  new 
positions. 

Incapacitated. 

(h)  If  a  telegrapher  assigned  to  a  posi- 
tion becomes  incapacitated  or  unable  to  fill 
his  position,  he  will  be  assigned  to  the  extra 
list  and   will  retain  his   seniority. 

Reduction    of   Force. 

(i)  Telegraphers  laid  off  on  account  of  re- 
duction of  forces  will  have  preference  ac- 
cording to  seniority  on  the  division  on  which 
they  were  employed  and  will  be  given  em- 
ployment on  other  divisions  in  preference 
to  persons  not  in  the  service.  If  transferred 
to  another  division  their  age  in  service  shall 
date  from  date  first  employed,  but  their 
seniorit>'    shall    date    from    time    transferred. 

Seniority     List. 

(j;  Seniority  list  of  telegraphers  will  be 
furnished  by  the  superintendent  to  the  local 
chairman  of  their  respective  divisions  in 
January   and    July   of    each    year.

iority rights,  but  shall  not  hold  rights  to  a 
position  which  he  has  declined  until  the  posi- 
tion   is    again    vacant.

sire shall  be  signified  in  writing  within  ten 
days  of  the  date  of  suspension,  removal  or 
discharge,  and  the  investigation  shall  be  be- 
gun as  soon  as  possible,  but  within  ten  days

little  interruption  as  possible,  until  com- 
pleted. The  telegrapher  shall  have  full  op- 
portunity to  present  his  case  and  offer  testi- 
mony, and  may  be  accompanied  by  a  fellow- 
employe.  If  the  suspension,  removal  or  dis- 
missal is  found  to  have  been  without  just 
cause,  the  employe  shall  be  reinstated  and 
paid  for  time  lost.  Telegraphers  will  have 
the  right  to  appeal  any  case  to  the  higher 
officials  in  their  regular  order  up  to  the

positions  of  the  same  class  or  character  as 
are  already  specified  in   the   wage   scale. 

ARTICLE   III. 

(a)  Employes  designated  by  Article  II  are 
in  line  of  promotion,  advancement  depend- 
ing upon  faithful  discharge  of  duty,  and  ca- 
pacity for  increased  responsibility.  When 
qualifications  are  equal,  seniority  will  have 
preference. 

(b)  When  a  station  where  an  exclusive 
agent  is  employed  becomes  vacant,  it  shall 
be  advertised  in  the  regular  way  and  filled 
by  the  oldest  applicant  capable,  whether  he 
be  an  operator  or  clerk,  and  not  by  em- 
ploying outside  parties — proper  officers  to 
pass    upon    capability    of    applicant. 

(c)  The  company,  through  the  proper  offi- 
cial, will  determine  the  fitness  of  the  em- 
ploye designated  in  Article  II  to  fill  the 
position    bid   or   applied    for.

which  they  are  competent  and  to  which 
their  seniority  entitles  them,  but  they  shall 
assert  their  seniority  within  10  days.  Pro- 
vided, however,  this  shall  not  apply  to  sum- 
mer offices   or  positions  of  like  character. 

(b)  When  offices  are  moved  from  one  loca- 
tion to  another,  if  the  distance  exceeds  two 
miles  and  not  beyond  the  location  of  another 
office,  the  individual  employe  or  employes  at 
the  original  location  shall  have  the  right  to 
elect  within  three  days  .from  the  date  of  the 
change  whether  they  will  follow  the  office. 
If  they  decide  not  to  follow  the  office,  para- 
graph   (a)    applies. 

(cj  Employes  as  per  Article  II  accepting 
employment  in  other  departments  of  the 
service,  shall  not  forfeit  their  seniority,  but 
may  assert  it  only  by  first  re-entering  any 
class  of  departments  covered  by  this  sched- 
ule; by  going  on  the  extra  list,  and  then 
filing  applications  for  vacancies  or  new  po- 
sitions.

siimes  duty,  or  such  position  becomes  abol- 
ished, when  said  applicant  will  drop  back  to 
his    previous    position,     retaining     seniority

duties  of  a  telegraph  operator,  and  such 
other  agents  as  are  incorporated  in  Article 
XVI,  except  train  dispatchers,  will  be  con- 
sidered a  telegrapher  within  the  meaning 
of   this   schedule. 

When  new  positions  are  created,  hours  of 
service  and  compensation  will  be  fixed  in 
conformity  with  similar  class  on  same  dis- 
trict, and  they  will  be  filled  in  accordance

from  date  of  vacancy  and  for  a  period  of 
ten  days.  At  the  expiration  of  thirty  days 
from  date  of  vacancy,  a  permanent  assign- 
ment will  be  made.

relief  work  for  a  period  not  exceeding  ninety 
days  without  losing  assignments.  Where 
competent  extra  men  are  available,  they  will 
be  used  for  relief  work  in  preference. 

ARTICLE  III. 

Telegraphers  will  be  regarded  in  line  of 
promotion,  advancement  depending  upon 
faithful  discharge  of  duty  and  capacity  for 
increased  responsibility.  WTiere  these  are 
sufficient,    seniority    will    have    preference.

of  entering  service  and  extend  over  division 
where   employed. 

If  transferred  and  found  incapable,  teleg- 
rapher will  revert  to  extra  list,  retaining 
seniority.  Seniority  rights  will  not  be  for- 
feited when  promotion  is  declined. 
'  When  regular  positions  are  abolished,  the 
telegrapher  affected  may  displace  the  young- 
est regularly  assigned  telegrapher  on  the 
division,  or  revert  to  the  extra  list,  retain- 
ing .seniority   rights   in   either  case. 

Telegraphers  may  transfer  from  one  di- 
vision to  another  with  the  approval  of  the 
company.  In  such  cases  the  telegrapher 
making  the  transfer  will  go  on  the  extra 
list,  but  will  retain  three-fourths  of  his 
former  seniority,  and  will  have  the  right  to 
file  application  for  bulletined  positions. 

Seniority  list  will  be  prepared  and  filed 
in  the  superintendent's  office,  open  to  in- 
spection, and  a  copy  furnished  each  tele- 
graph office  at  the  beginning  of  January 
and  July  of  each  year.

er's positions  will  retain  their  seniority 
rights.

non-scheduled  positions,  and  their  applica- 
tions will  be  considered.  Telegraphers  ac- 
cepting non-scheduled  positions  will  retain 
seniority  rights  to  six  months  thereafter, 
and  may  return  to  former  positions  within 
sixty   days  thereafter.

more  than  ninety  days  except  in  case  of

p!o,\-e  if  he  desires,  will  be  given  a  hearing

tion  agent   ready  to   be   put   on   train. 

All  agents  will  be  allowed  ten  per  cent  of 
return  charges  of  paid  C.  O.  D.'s  and  col- 
lections when  returns  are  made  by  money

June  30,  1917,  and  for  other  purposes,"  as  follows: 

The  President,  in  time  of  war,  is  empowered,  through  the  Secretary  of  War, 
to  take  possession  and  assume  control  of  any  system  or  systems  of  transporta- 
tion, or  any  part  thereof,  and  to  utilize  the  same,  to  the  exclusion  as  far  as  may 
be  necessary  of  all  other  traffic  thereon,  for  the  transfer  or  transportation  of 
troops,  war  material  and  equipment,  or  for  such  other  purposes  connected  with 
the  emergency  as  may  be  needful  or  desirable. 

And  whereas  it  has  now  become  necessary  in  the  national  defense  to  take  possession 
and  assume  control  of  certain  systems  of  transportation  and  to  utilize  the  same,  to 
the  exclusion  as  far  as  may  be  necessary  of  other  than  war  traffic  thereon,  for  the 
transportation  of  troops,  war  material  and  equipment  therefor,  and  for  other  needful 
and  desirable  purposes  connected  with  the  prosecution  of  the  war; 

Now,  therefore,  I,  Woodrow  Wilson,  President  of  the  United  States,  under  and 
by  virtue  of  the  powers  vested  in  me  by  the  foregoing  resolutions  and  statute,  and 
by  virtue  of  all  other  powers  thereto  me  enabling,  do  hereby,  through  Newton  D. 
Baker,  Secretary  of  War,  take,  possession  and  assume  control  at  12  o'clock  noon  on 
the  twenty-eighth  day  of  December,  1917,  of  each  and  every  system  of  transportation 
and  the  appurtenances  thereof  located  wholly  or  in  part  within  the  boundaries  of  the 
continental  United  States  and  consisting  of  railroads,  and  owned  or  controlled  systems 
of  coastwise  and  inland  transportation,  engaged  in  general  transportation,  whether 
operated  by  steam  or  electric  power,  including  also  terminals,  terminal  companies 
and  terminal  associations,  sleeping  and  parlor  cars,  private  cars  and  private  car 
lines,  elevators,  warehouses,  telegraph  and  telephone  lines  and  all  other  equipment 
and  appurtenances  commonly  used  upon  or  operated  as  a  part  of  such  rail  or  com- 
bined rail  and  water  systems  of  transportation; — to  the  end  that  such  systems  of 
transportation  be  utilized  for  the  transfer  and  transportation  of  troops,  war  material 
and  equipment,  to  the  exclusion  so  far  as  may  be  necessary  of  all  other  traffic  thereon; 
and  that  so  far  as  such  exclusive  use  be  not  necessary  or  desirable,  such  systems 
of  transportation  be  operated  and  utilized  in  the  performance  of  such  other  services 
as  the  national  interest  may  require  and  of  the  usual  and  ordinary  business  and 
duties  of  common  carriers. 

It  is  hereby  directed  that  the  possession,  control,  operation  and  utilization  of 
such  transportation  systems  hereby  by  me  undertaken  shall  be  exercised  by  and 
through  William  G.  McAdoo,  who  is  hereby  appointed  and  designated  Director  General 


or  Railroads.  Said  Director  may  perform  the  duties  imposed  upon  him,  so  long  and 
to  such  extent  as  he  shall  determine,  through  the  Boards  of  Directors,  Receivers, 
officers  and  employes  of  said  systems  of  transportation.  Until  and  except  so  far 
as  said  Director  shall  from  time  to  time  by  general  or  special  orders  otherwise  provide, 
the  Boards  of  Directors,  Receivers,  officers  and  employes  of  the  various  transportation 
systems  shall  continue  the  operation  thereof  in  the  usual  and  ordinary  course  of  the 
business  of  common  carriers,  in  the  names  of  their  respective  companies. 

Until  and  except  so  far  as  said  Director  shall  from  time  to  time  otherwise  by 
general  or  special  orders  determine,  such  systems  of  transportation  shall  remain 
subject  to  all  existing  statutes  and  orders  of  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission, 
and  to  all  statutes  and  orders  of  regulating  commissions  of  the  various  states  in 
which  said  systems  or  any  part  thereof  may  be  situated.  But  any  orders,  general 
or  special,  hereafter  made  by  said  Director,  shall  have  paramount  authority  and  be 
obeyed  as  such. 

Nothing  herein  shall  be  construed  as  now  affecting  the  possession,  operation  and 
control  of  street  electric  passenger  railways,  including  railways  commonly  called 
interurbans,  whether  such  railways  be  or  be  not  owned  or  controlled  by  such  railroad 
companies  or  systems.  By  subsequent  order  and  proclamation,  if  and  when  it  shall 
be  found  necessary  or  desirable,  possession,  control  or  operation  may  be  taken  of 
all  or  any  part  of  such  street  railway  systems,  including  subways  and  tunnels;  and 
by  subsequent  order  and  proclamation  possession,  control  and  operation  in  whole  or 
in  part  may  also  be  relinquished  to  the  owners  thereof  of  any  part  of  the  railroad 
systems  or  rail  and  water  systems,  possession  and  control  of  which  are  hereby 
assumed. 

The  Director  shall  as  soon  as  may  be  after  having  assumed  such  possession  and 
control  enter  upon  negotiations  with  the  several  companies  looking  to  agreements 
for  just  and  reasonable  compensation  for  the  possession,  use  and  control  of  their 
respective  properties  on  the  basis  of  an  annual  guaranteed  compensation,  above 
accruing  depreciation  and  the  maintenance  of  their  properties,  equivalent,  as  nearly 
as  may  be,  to  the  average  of  the  net  operating  income  thereof  for  the  three-year 
period  ending  June  30,  1917, — the  results  of  such  negotiations  to  be  reported  to  me 
for  such  action  as  may  be  appropriate  and  lawful. 

But  nothing  herein  contained,  expressed  or  implied,  or  hereafter  done  or  suffered 
hereunder,  shall  be  deemed  in  any  way  to  impair  the  rights  of  the  stockholders, 
bondholders,  creditors  and  other  persons  having  interests  in  said  systems  of  trans- 
portation or  in  the  profits  thereof,  to  receive  just  and  adequate  compensation  for 
the  use  and  control  and  operation  of  their  property  hereby  assumed. 

Regular  dividends  hitherto  declared,  and  maturing  interest  upon  bonds,  deben- 
tures and  other  obligations,  may  be  paid  in  dile  course;  and  such  regular  dividends 
and  interest  may  continue  to  be  paid  until  and  unless  the  said  Director  shall  from 
time  to  time  otherwise  by  general  or  special  orders  determine;  and,  subject  to  the 
approval  of  the  Director,  the  various  carriers  may  agree  upon  and  arrange  for  the 
renewal  and  extension  of  maturing  obligations. 

Except  with  the  prior  written  assent  as  said  Director,  no  attachment  by  mesne 
process  or  on  execution  shall  be  levied  on  or  against  any  of  the  property  used  by 
any  of  said  transportation  systems  in  the  conduct  of  their  business  as  common  car- 
riers; but  suits  may  be  brought  by  and  against  said  carriers  and  judgments  rendered 
as  hitherto  until  and  except  so  far  as  said  Director  may,  by  general  or  special  orders, 
otherwise  determine. 

From  and  after  twelve  o'clock  on  said  twenty-eighth  day  of  December,  1917,  all 
transportation  systems  included  in  this  order  and  proclamation  shall  conclusively 
be  deemed  within  the  possession  and  control  of  said  Director  without  further  act  or 
notice.  But  for  the  purpose  of  accounting  said  possession  and  control  shall  date 
from  twelve  o'clock  midnight  on  December  31,  1917. 

In  witness  whereof,  I  have  hereunto  set  my  hand  and  caused  the  seal  of  the 
United  States  to  be  affixed. 

Done  by  the  President,  through  Newton  D.  Baker,  Secretary  of  War,  in 
the  District  of  Columbia,  this  26th  day  of  December,  in  the  year  of 
(Seal.)         our  Lord  one  thousand  nine  hundred  and  seventeen,  and  of  the  inde- 
pendence of  the  United  States  the  one  hundred  and  forty-second. 

WOODROW  WILSON, 

By  the  President:
